Who is this workshop suitable for?

The day will cover:

Nature play and risky play are deeply interconnected because natural spaces for play provide an environment that encourages risk-taking, exploration and discovery. In play spaces with nature and bush kindy excursions there are endless opportunities for children to experiment, challenge themselves and build confidence in ways that structured indoor play spaces cannot. 

    • We will discuss the underlying theories of nature play and risky play
    • We will explore how these two concepts are naturally intertwined and support the holistic development and wellbeing of young children.
    • We will explore how to support children’s dynamic risk assessment skills
    • We will share how to manage safety in nature play in early learning settings
    • We will share insights of nature play in action

What to expect:

The course is delivered by experienced, qualified trainers with extensive knowledge and expertise in Nature play and Bush Kindy programs across Queensland and beyond. Our facilitators still work in the field and share hands on experience as well as services that we partner with.

Tea/coffee are provided.
