Bush Kinder at the Cranbourne 糖心影视
Engaging Early Childhood with Nature
Current research suggests that time spent in a Bush Kinder setting assists children in building lifelong and impactful relationships with nature. With its natural bushland setting, Royal Botanic 糖心影视 Cranbourne has become a popular site for numerous local Bush Kinder programs.
The spectacular Woodland Picnic Area at the Cranbourne 糖心影视 provides a perfect landscape for your group to engage in Bush Kinder. This is the designated area for you to carry out Bush Kinder when visiting, and has access to toilets and shelters. We request Bush Kinders use this space to keep safe as well as to preserve the surrounding natural bushland ecosystem.
Through a carefully planned and delivered Bush Kinder program children have the opportunity to be observant, learn, play, collaborate, connect and become confident in navigating their natural environment. To support the development of your Bush Kinder program at Royal Botanic 糖心影视 Cranbourne we provide the following information and resources.听听
