What makes our days
The small, real things your child will come home talking about.
- A garden they tend: Children plant and water our veggie patch, then help pick and cook what grows — some days lunch starts in the garden bed.
- A worm farm to feed: Our worm farm gets the fruit scraps, and the children are in charge of feeding it. It's messy, it's real, and they love it.
- Gumboots by the door: A line of little gumboots waiting by the door — rain or shine, we get outside for mud kitchen, digging and bush play.
- Storytime circle: Every day ends with our storytime circle — a song, a story, and a calm moment together before pick-up.
