Cuddly Bear has chickens! We are the home to 4 feathered friends who have been with us since they have hatched. Within this space we also have a sustainable vegetable garden. Children love to visit this space to see how many eggs are ready for collection, and what vegetables might have grown overnight! This project provides an opportunity for children to engage in a shared experience, where they can exercise their critical thinking skills, expressive language and sense of responsibility. 

This award winning program draws on the fun of movement and dance, the creativity of music, and the joy of active play. Each week a new and exciting interactive themed adventure is delivered and all of the classes are specially designed to encourage participation, expression and social interaction. Children shine the most when they feel like they belong and Happy Feet classes create a non-competitive, safe, happy environment for all children to learn, laugh and grow.

Child-led nature-play and curiosity are at the heart of this program. Bush kinder connects children with nature in an outdoor setting, allowing children the opportunity to explore independently and participate in caring for our environment mindfully. Exploration of this program across all of our classrooms also supports the implementation of nature-play and sustainability into our centre.
