Growing with Nature - Forest School and Nature Playgroup

Next date: Wednesday, 15 April 2026 | 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Growing with Nature is a play-based, experiential Forest school program that invites young children into a world of wonder, discovery, and deep connection to the earth.

Set in the natural landscapes of Noosa Botanic Gardens, this fully outdoor program blends nature immersion with early childhood rhythms and developmentally appropriate learning. For babies and toddlers, mornings are filled with gentle sensory play, stories, and movement in a calm and nurturing environment. Children aged 3+ venture deeper, discovering native flora and wildlife, learning about medicinal plants, joining in seasonal art projects, awareness games, and bushcraft skills.

Our programs are facilitated by a fully qualified and experienced forest school leader with certifications in Therapeutic nature play and Restorative Storytelling. Parents remain on site and are responsible for their children at all times.
