More about Bush School
Bush School is a nature play program for 2.5 - 5 year olds and their carers, set amongst the trees and ponds of Centennial Park. It’s about climbing, collecting, splashing, balancing, building, and wandering, without rushing to the next thing.
Each session is child-led and open-ended. There are cubbies to build, trees to climb, animals to meet and plenty of dirt to dig. Kids set the pace. Educators support the play. Adults stay and get involved, learning alongside their child through nature connection and hands-on activities.
What to expect
- Nature-based free play and sensory discovery
- Mud, sticks, leaves and imagination
- Bushcraft and storytelling
- Carer-child connection through shared outdoor experience
- Practical take-home ideas for nature play
