Learning in and with Nature
Adelaide Miethke Preschool has a beautiful, purpose built nature play space which was designed by children, families, staff and the architects from JPE Design Studio Pty Ltd in 2016.
The vision for the project was for us to develop an outdoor learning area in which the children will engage in play experiences that inspire and motive them to develop a love of learning.
