Parent Workshops and Talks
We partner with preschools and organisations to conduct workshops and events for parents and families. We strongly believe that parents and caregivers close to the child are their first teachers, and have great influence on children’s development and foundations for learning. These bonds and interactions mould our children from a very young age. We are proud to offer bespoke urban nature-based workshops and learning experiences designed for parents and families that not only encourage positive interactions and meaningful time spent outdoors together, but also the sharing of ideas and strategies for outdoor learning that can be brought back into each home.
