Explore Nature at Our Outdoor Play Daycare
Learning Through Play at Bambini House
 

At Bambini House, our outdoor play daycare allows children to witness and observe nature and its seasonal changes while understanding the interdependence of living things.

​

We encourage children to deeply immerse themselves in nature by touching leaves and tree trunks, digging in the dirt and mulch, and building with fallen sticks and found stones. The simple act of walking, stepping, and dancing on natural, uneven surfaces is a profound lesson in itself, as is the pure joy of running on the grass, hiding behind trees, or playing shop in the wooden cubby. Our outdoor play daycare garden is full of opportunities for fun; old laundry tubs, tree stumps, wooden wheels, and a climbing frame ensure that children run, jump, climb, hide, crawl, and skip their way around.

​

While free, undirected play is encouraged, there are also materials in the garden that serve multiple educational purposes. The ongoing vegetable garden and compost help children understand the cyclical nature of food. Bambini House is home to a hive of Australian Native Bees. The veggie garden and compost instill a sense of responsibility and care in children — lessons they carry from our outdoor play daycare into their local community and the wider world.
