Nature-Based Learning

The benefit alone of being in nature is priceless. Many experts have come to the conclusion that children need to be more outdoors.

It is proven to strengthen the immune-system, calm the nervous-system and support the overall well-being of people in general. With such a foundation the mind is ready to conceive all the tangible learning experiences nature has to offer.

Children thrive in the years of school to come as they set new examples of leading mindfully, being inventive and creative, and include the well-being of all around them.

Philosophy & Mission

We believe that every child is wonderfully unique and has the right to feel safe, respected and celebrated in nurturing environments. We are a team of innovative Early Childhood professionals who highly value building and maintaining strong, respectful relationships with children and families.

Helping Your Child Explore, Grow, & Learn

Dayboro Kindy seeks to nurture the whole child and as such, we believe that children benefit emotionally and physically when spending much of their time outdoors connecting with the natural world. This philosophy fosters social awareness and inclusion in our children. All children an opportunity to play and learn equally, together as interdependent members of our school and society.

We value the natural curiosity in children and we understand our individual roles in encouraging the child’s active participation and creativity in their own learning process. In addition, our staff is also encouraged to develop a greater level of self-awareness through professional development and personal reflection and how it impacts their performance as teachers, mentors, leaders, and learners.
