We are familiar faces – Bec, Anya, Alex, Hannah and Rita and have been delivering nature play training to educators for many years, with Nature Play QLD, Cottonwood Learning, Conferences and more. We facilitate professional development and support educators to enrich their knowledge and skills to enrich children’s learning and wellbeing. We are passionate local that put our heart into everything we do. 

We want to give children back the childhood that is missing in todays society. Some of us can recall a time when every afternoon after school and all weekend we would head outdoors and spend endless hours immersed in free play. Our imaginations ran wild as we created and constructed, making potions with leaves, petals and seedpods, making cubby houses with sticks and logs and rocks. We took on pretend roles, we collaborated with our fellow friends and created games. We set off on journeys exploring creeks and hills and bushland and discovering wildlife along the way. We climbed trees, we rode push bikes, we rolled down hills, we just had fun and pure delight. It is this joy from real meaningful play the reason why we can recall these happy memories with elation. These memories are what we cherish, it’s what warms our heart, it’s how we learnt, how we grew. We want children of todays society to have more of these opportunities not less and that’s why we engage with educators to enhance their teaching approaches through Nature Pedagogy.
