Overview

Discover, engage and connect with the natural environment through child-led play at Bush Kindy.

Join us for a special Bush Kindy, making memories with your little ones as they take part in outdoor, child-led play. Be prepared to get a little messy! Bush Kindy is for children aged 3 - 5 years, alongside their parents and carers. Be immersed in the natural surroundings of the reserve as children build nature confidence and respect for the environment through unstructured, open-ended play with natural materials. Bush Kindy sessions can go for roughly 45 minutes and will go ahead in light rain.

This activity is for the general public. If you are a daycare or vacation group interested in attending a similar activity, please email us at DCBC@brisbane.qld.gov.au.
