Our nature education
​Woombye Childcare and Kindergarten (WCK) offers a reliable pathway to school.​ WCK Explorers grow in heart and mind making strong connections and friendships within the Woombye ELC and wider community. Our centre is conveniently located in the heart of Woombye.
​
WCK Explorers access our beautiful, natural tree lined outside spaces and hands-on learning
studios with open-ended natural, intelligent materials, large loose parts, tinkering in the tool
shed, working with real materials or in the sand and mud pits.
​
Inside our old Queenslander, they spend time in one of our studio spaces exploring in our illumine - light and construction space – observing light and shadow possibilities, patterning in the small loose
parts studio, creating works of art in the art studio, working with clay other art mediums,
reading, and researching in our library space, or the dance and music studio.
​
Our inquiry-based programs value questioning, deep thinking, challenging, and building new
knowledge. This encourages children to research for meaning, to be curious, use their
imaginations and wonder about the 'why and how'.
