A Nature Inspired Learning Space

When your child scrambles over a rock, balances along a log, investigates a bug or turns a handful of leaves into the ingredients for an imaginary feast, there is a lot more happening than simply “playing outside”. They are building strength and coordination, solving problems, experimenting with new ideas, learning how to manage challenges, communicating with other children and discovering what they are capable of.

At The Infants’ Home, we believe some of the richest learning happens when children have the space to follow their curiosity. Our purpose-built Outdoor Classroom gives children opportunities for nature-based, play-based and child-led learning in an environment created for exploration and adventure. 

For your child, these experiences can help build confidence, creativity, resilience and physical skills while encouraging them to ask questions, test ideas and learn about the natural world around them.

Play-based learning gives children an active role in how they learn. Rather than simply being shown an answer, they have opportunities to investigate it themselves, whether they are working out how to balance on a log, negotiating a game with a friend or discovering what happens when water meets sand.

Our team is there alongside them, observing what captures their attention and finding thoughtful ways to extend their learning without taking over their play. The result is an outdoor space where your child can move their body, use their imagination, connect with nature and discover something new every time they visit.

Because sometimes learning looks like books, pencils and numbers. And sometimes it looks like muddy hands, a very important stick and a determined climb to the top of Possum Hill.
