Rooted in our core values of respect, creativity, connection, and care, Bush Kinder offers children the opportunity to learn through meaningful, hands-on experiences in the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur sessions are designed to foster life skills and confidence through practical, nature-based activities. Whether it's cooking, identifying local flora and fauna, using real hand tools safely, sparking fires, mastering knots, or building shelters, children are encouraged to explore, inquire, and grow in a nurturing and adventurous environment. Please note, this session incorporates fire safety with fire sparking activities and cooking on open fires. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe focus on learning that engages the whole child—head, heart, and hands—cultivating resilience, cooperation, and a deep respect for the environment. Through rhythm, storytelling, and purposeful play, our program supports each child's emotional and physical development, helping them build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur commitment is to provide a space where children feel safe, free, and connected—to themselves, to others, and to the land. We honour each child’s natural curiosity and creativity, and we guide them gently through experiences that build independence, self-regulation, and a lasting love for the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSession Details:\u003cbr\u003eWeekly sessions run from \u003cstrong\u003e10\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eam to 1:00pm from July 17th - 4th of September\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOpen to children aged \u003cstrong\u003e3 to 6 years with siblings welcome to join with a $10 weekly fee. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e$35 per day\u003c\/strong\u003e, paid in advance as a \u003cstrong\u003e8-\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eweek term enrolment.

Known for its rugged beauty and breathtaking views, the You Yangs offer a rich and diverse landscape that inspires exploration, discovery, and connection to nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe park features a mosaic of eucalyptus woodlands, rocky outcrops, and open bushland, providing an ideal environment for sensory and physical development. Its natural terrain—with sloping trails, uneven surfaces, and rocky climbs—offers children opportunities to build balance, coordination, and gross motor skills through authentic movement and adventurous play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHome to a remarkable array of flora and fauna, the You Yangs support over 200 native plant species and abundant wildlife including kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, and a wide variety of birds such as wedge-tailed eagles and kookaburras. Children engage in rich learning experiences as they begin to identify local plants, track animal footprints, and observe nature’s cycles up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe park also holds deep cultural significance, forming part of the traditional lands of the Wadawurrung People. With ancient stories, scarred trees, and culturally important sites throughout the area, the You Yangs provide a powerful space for sharing Indigenous perspectives and nurturing respect for Country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith abundant natural resources—sticks, stones, leaves, bark, and earth—the You Yangs become an open-ended playground that encourages creativity, resilience, and connection. It’s a place where children can build shelters, create nature art, climb, dig, and play freely, immersed in the rhythms and wisdom of the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little wildling","offers":[{"title":"One Child","offer_id":52326089359653,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sibling over 18m","offer_id":52326100107557,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/4343\/4277\/files\/IMG_1176.jpg?v=1779968589","url":"https:\/\/littlewildling.org\/products\/bush-kinder-t2-you-yangs-friday-1","provider":"Little wildling","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
