Kindergarten (Ages 4-5)
For our youngest learners, we design our lessons to spark curiosity and imagination. At this foundational stage, our focus is on:
Simplified scientific concepts
Introducing basic environmental themes through storytelling and imaginative play.
Basic movements
Encouraging physical participation with simple, fun movements that promote motor skills.
Short, engaging activities
Keeping each segment of the lesson brief to match their attention spans, ensuring they remain engaged and entertained throughout.
Creating curiosity for our planet
Our sessions are tailored to ignite curiosity, build empathy for our planet, and encourage active participation in its preservation, all while supporting motor skill development and cognitive growth.
Primary School (Ages 5-8)
As children grow, so does their capacity for more complex understanding and interaction. Our primary school programs expand on foundational concepts:
Enhanced scientific detail
Gradually increasing the complexity of environmental topics to challenge young minds.
Advanced movements
Incorporating more complex physical activities that align with their improved spatial awareness and motor skills.
Longer engagement
Extending the duration of activities to align with their growing attention spans, allowing for deeper exploration of topics.
Childcare and after school hours (Birth to 10 Years)
Recognising the diverse age range in childcare and after-school settings, we offer flexible programs that adapt to the varied needs of this group:
Versatile content
Tailoring lessons to engage a wide age range, from the simplest concepts for the youngest to more complex ideas for older children.
Adaptive activities
Modifying movements and engagement strategies to suit the developmental stage of each child, ensuring inclusivity.
Pre-engagement preparation
We provide pre-class materials and activities to prime the children for learning, fostering a rich educational soil for the seeds of knowledge.

Our lessons are planned and delivered across all age groups and settings to ensure relevance and engagement. From the gentle introduction of environmental awareness in kindergarten to the deeper dives in primary school and the adaptable, inclusive approach in childcare and after-school programs, we ensure that our educational incursions grow with your child.
Making sure the child is inspired at each stage
Through this age-appropriate differentiation, we respect the developmental stages of each learner and maximise the impact of our lessons, ensuring every child leaves our sessions inspired, informed, and ready to explore the world around them.
