Do you want your children to play the Homegrown way?

We bring Homegrown to you!

Our Qualified educators and playworkers will deliver our Loose Parts and Nature Play programs in your school, centre or space.

We bring adventure, exploration and nature together to reach children where they are in their learning journey. As educators, we take a step back and empower our children with age-appropriate play opportunities and reasonable risk-taking, based on process orientated guided enquiry learning. We create an environment with open-ended potential, the rest is the work of the children.

We will stay to mentor your staff and children on ideas and provide provocations for the children to explore.

As mentors, we become part of your team. We support you to lead outdoor sessions, design and deliver learning activities, develop protocols and policies and create structures of working in and with nature. We will work alongside you to transform your outdoor area and make recommendations for suitable safe spaces for Nature Play.

As part of our mentorship offering, we will:

• Visit the centre or school grounds and view/assess the space.

• Conduct a Site Audit.

• Provide management with a report and action plan.

• Help facilitate nature pedagogies and practices where all children can thrive.
