OF NATURE PLAY AND BUSH KINDY TRAINING
Nature Play Workshop - Brisbane
Bush Kindy Australia provides personalised training, mentoring and support that is unique and tailored to the needs of your educator team and contextualised to your service program and setting.
Imagine learning that feels alive.
Where children climb, explore, take considered risks, and follow their curiosity – and you feel confident supporting it every step of the way.
Our Learning in and With Nature workshop is a practical, one-day nature play training for early childhood educators, designed to help you bring outdoor learning into your everyday practice.
Grounded in nature pedagogy, this professional development experience explores both the why and the how of bush kindy and nature play – supporting you to confidently translate theory into meaningful, real-world application across all age groups.
You’ll explore child-led and inquiry-based learning, risky play, and the use of natural loose parts through practical, hands-on examples you can immediately implement in your setting — whether you have access to bushland or not.
This is more than a workshop – it’s a mindset shift.
You’ll leave with the confidence, tools, and inspiration to:
- support children’s curiosity and agency through nature play
- create engaging outdoor learning environments
- and embed nature-based learning into your daily practice
So you can return to your centre ready to trust the process, embrace possibility, and create spaces where children can truly thrive.
