Explore the great outdoors...

​A world full of possibilities...

Holistic development is fostered in our versatile outdoor environment.

​Getting in touch with nature...

What better way to get creative than with what nature has to offer?  We value natural resources as materials for children to investigate, create and use their imagination!

Imaginations are inspired...

Running, climbing, jumping, sliding, hiding... the possibilities are endless! Children are free to explore the outdoors in a safe and supportive environment.

Loose parts play...

​Our children never stop creating and constructing using loose parts: tyres, milk crates, wooden boards, logs, sheets...anything they can get their hands on!  When we step back and give them the time and freedom to move things around, this is what happens:

Inviting Indoor Spaces...

Come inside...unwind, explore, create and relax! Our indoor environment offers children opportunities for learning in small groups, large groups or just solitary play.

Magic down by the creek...

Our Creek Kindy program offers children the opportunity to explore our natural surrounds, use their imagination and connect with nature.  We are so lucky to have this wonderful resource right on our back door step!  Our children enjoy splashing and wading in the creek. They race leaves over the shallow rocks and sit on fallen logs, dangling their feet into the water. They  enjoy tossing various items into the water to see what will float and what will sink, and also enjoy throwing larger rocks into the water to see who can make the biggest splash!

​The Gap local soccer club is next door...

Right next door!  The Gap Football Club offers a large open space for a variety of activities to take place.  We often utilize this space for setting up obstacle courses, games such us sack racing and egg and spoon racing and sometimes children might sit and have a picnic in the warm winter sunshine!
