OUR MISSION
To provide meaningful learning experiences that encourage healthy risk taking and nurture the development of children’s confidence, resilience, creativity and problem solving through connecting and engaging in nature.
ABOUT US
Wattlewood Nature Play was founded by Molly Brown, an experienced primary school teacher. Her passion for teaching and the development of children’s emotional, mental and social wellbeing, inspired her to explore ways of learning outside the classroom and dive deep into studying how we can best raise resilient and compassionate children. Our team is currently supported by our beautiful Guides, Kitty & Di, who are also both experienced educators.
At Wattlewood we are nurturing a sense of belonging and adventure, while strengthening emotional intelligence and physical capabilities by allowing children the simple freedom to explore and follow their natural curiousities.
