“The future belongs to those who embrace curiosity, the ones who fearlessly explore, challenge, question, and unravel it.”

Play School

The Wise Earth Play School Program is a playgroup open for children between the ages of 2-4 years with their parent/care-giver. Play School is a chance to explore natural wonders and forge connections with like-minded families who share a passion connecting with their child in nature. Here, we embrace creativity, honour child-led exploration, and celebrate the unstructured beauty of nature play.

WEBS Core Values

Bundjalung Nation – Wise Earth Bush School acknowledges with respect the Country, the skies, the waterways and the spiritual systems of the Nyangbul people. We acknowledge our Aboriginal children and their families. We do this in the spirit of reconciliation as we move towards justice and partnership as together we walk gently on this land. ‘WEBS’ respects the great wealth of knowledge and rich tradition which has cared for this Country for millennia. We invite First Nations People to share their knowledge within our learning community, so that we can all have a deeper connection to Country and learn to care for her in a more respectful way.
