Hands-On Outdoor Learning for Young Explorers: Nurturing a Love for Nature and Learning
Experience Nature's Classroom
At Insight Early Learning, we believe in the power of nature to inspire curiosity and foster a love for learning. Our Bush Kinder program offers children aged 3 to 5 years the opportunity to explore, investigate, and connect with the natural world through hands-on outdoor learning.
A Child-Led, Nature-Based Adventure
Our Bush Kinder program, designed by our team of early childhood educators and university-qualified teachers, offers an engaging, age-appropriate, and child-led outdoor learning experience. We aim to provide children with at least one session a month in nature, as research has shown that time spent outdoors offers numerous developmental benefits.
“Nature pedagogy is an understanding of our sense of belonging to the land, our sense of working with nature. There’s a pedagogical shift when you move outside into nature, learning with nature, not just teaching about it.” – Claire Warden
Fostering Ecological Awareness and Respect
At Bush Kinder, children develop an ecological awareness, building respect, love, and a deep connection to the land. The discoveries and learning that occur outdoors shape much of our curriculum back at the centre, encouraging further research, inquiry, and collaborative exploration.
Supporting Growth and Social Development
In addition to fostering a love for nature, our Bush Kinder program prepares children for the next stage of their learning journey by promoting group sharing, listening, and respectful relationships. Our educators nurture essential social skills, supporting children’s emotional and social development as they engage with their peers in the natural environment.
Building Lifelong Learners
At Insight Early Learning, we believe that Bush Kinder is more than just outdoor play—it’s a journey that helps children discover their own potential, fosters a deep connection with the natural world, and nurtures a lifelong love for learning.
