CERES is an environmental education centre, community garden, urban farm and social enterprise hub spread across four locations, linked by the Merri and Darebin Creeks on Wurundjeri Country, Melbourne.
Join our experienced Early Years Outdoor Educators at our Nature Playgroup, as they introduce the wonders of the outdoors through building bush cubbies, making art using natural objects, meeting insects & worms, visiting the CERES farm chickens, walking along the Merri Creek, plus more! Child-led nature-play and curiosity are at the heart of this program, where nature is used as a learning and playspace. Our carefully designed learning experience will connect your children with nature, allow them to explore independently, discover the wonders of our natural world and participate in caring for our environment.
Designed for children 2-5 years old accompanied by a guardian.
“Being outdoors in nature offers unplanned, unknown, unpredictable encounters; these are significant provocations for learning.” (Adapted from Waters, 2012)
