Where To Find Us
Nature School puts the land and the child-at-play at the centre of every activity. Children are given space and time to explore and be inspired by their surroundings, and educators support the children through an emergent curriculum, which is driven by a process of inquiry and views risky play as as an integral part of children’s learning and development.
