out About Care Education

O & A Care & Education caters to children from 6 weeks of age to school age.

They offer two approved Kindergarten Programs operating 5 days per week with an educator team  that supports children as they learn and grow through our programs.

At Out & About they encourage children to understand and work with the natural world. Their play spaces have been designed to foster children’s interaction with and enjoyment of outdoor play, investigation, and discovery. Outdoor play in nature offers children a number of benefits, including:

  • Development of physical skills and stamina
  • Practicing social skills, working with others, and collaboration on a range of projects and games
  • Space to run, be free of concerns, and to make noise and laugh like mad if they wish, or be quiet and thoughtful
  • How to think about and manage risks and challenges
  • A sense of awe and wonder at nature’s marvels. Children will connect with nature, and understand how the natural world works, our interdependence on it, and our responsibility to nurture it
  • A place to simply run, play and have great fun with friends in a relaxing and safe space.

Outdoor Playspace at out About Care Education

O & A’s distinctive playgrounds encourage creative thinking and simple enjoyment of nature and the great outdoors. Timber, stone, other natural elements and planting offer children a natural environment in which to play.

O & A include a combination of irregular layouts, patterns and textures in natural materials, quiet nooks, open spaces and different levels to provide children with interest, challenge and to prompt many play possibilities and ideas for imaginative play.
