Play-based learning for the whole child is the key to Natureplay's approach to child development. We recognize our task is to support the development of the minds and spirits of the children. We are mindful of our actions in guiding the children taking care that these actions are best practices in the field and supported by published scientific research into child development.

Natureplay is committed to fostering your child’s excitement about learning as well as exploring and caring for the world around them.

 

By empowering your child to make play choices we show respect for the child’s individual growth process and encourage their inborn enthusiasm for learning and growing.

 

Our daily routine unfolds in a number of settings with a range of developmentally appropriate activity choices made by the children. This approach empowers a diverse group of children to get their needs met.

 

We recognize the inherent value of diversity and actively promote diversity in all facets of our practice.
