​We understand the vital role that nature plays in a child's development. Our serene play spaces, built with natural materials, and regular outdoor excursions to the Burbank Forest and the nearby farms offer children unique opportunities for exploration and play in the natural while learning to care for animals. These experiences not only spark curiosity but also nurture mindfulness, creativity, compassion and a lifelong love of learning.
​Our comprehensive program encompasses various enriching activities, including gardening, wholesome cooking, nature-based yoga, and intuitive music sessions. Each activity is carefully designed to promote overall well-being and support the holistic development of each child. We integrate daily and seasonal rhythms, providing a sense of stability for children. Engaging activities like cooking classes and nature crafts foster meaningful connections with their learning experiences, while outdoor sports and mindfulness practices encourage a healthy and active lifestyle.
We recognize the importance of ongoing professional and personal development for our educators. We empower our team to bring their whole selves to the centre, modelling positive behaviours and attitudes for the children. Our commitment to their professional and personal growth includes ongoing reflection, guidance, and training opportunities, ensuring a rewarding experience for both educators and children.
Emotional development is a key focus of our philosophy.Through mindful discussions, storytelling, and songs,we enhance emotional literacy, compassion, and empathy among our children. We value the importance of buildingstrong connections with families and the broader community, fostering supportive relationships that respect each child's background and create a sense of belonging.
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​At Burbank Bush Kindy Natural Childcare, our mission is to provide a safe and playful learning environment that celebrates the beauty of nature and the significance of positive relationships. We aim to inspire every child to grow into a compassionate and connected individual, ready to make a positive impact on their own lives and the lives of others. We believe in the interconnectedness of all beings and strive to instil this understanding in every child who walks through our doors.
