Unlike traditional indoor learning environments, Bush Kindy embraces the unpredictability and wonder of the natural world. Here, children aren't confined to desks or structured activities. Instead, they're encouraged to explore, question, and interact with their surroundings in ways that ignite their imagination and fuel their development.
