Our Programs

Nature-Integrated Discovery

Our programs are deeply embedded in outdoor experiences, encouraging children to explore and gather information from the natural world and engage with animals in our bush kindy.

Letting Little-One’s Lead

We empower little ones to follow their curiosities in play that we support in a safe environment. Our approach guides children towards independence, confidence and resilience.

Fueling Little Bodies

Focusing on providing energising activities and fueling tummies with nourishing foods, children in our care discover their bodies and minds’ capabilities.

Community Engagement

By embracing community, we equip children with the tools to find their voice, value differences, and thrive in a collaborative world.

Holistic Development

We nurture the whole child beyond just academics. This includes supporting their physical, emotional, and social growth by choosing laughter, fun, getting messy and silliness.

easy for children to remove and put on to support self-help skills;
suitable for weather conditions;

No, at Una Springwood we are open 52 weeks a year and only closed on weekends and public holidays.

When will my child move rooms?

Your child’s readiness for such a move will be discussed with you and your child will transition gradually into their new room. Each child’s transition phase is different and we are guided by the child as to the time required for them to gain a sense of belonging in their new room.

Will I be able to visit my child during the day at any time?

Yes, we have an open door policy and families are welcome to visit at any time. We do also have special events planned throughout the year where families are invited to participate. Ie Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Grandparents Day, Occupations week.
