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.
The centre is a member of Nature Play SA.
Our staff are committed to ensuring children have opportunities to PLAY and LEARN in this fantastic space. To support this, we have committed to ensuring all our staff are well trained with of our core staff having participated in the Mindstrechers International 6-day Nature Pedagogy Course. Staff have also attended a range of other professional learning opportunities and conferences. In August 2016 some members of the team undertook a Study Tour to Scotland and England to explore Nature Play in other educational contexts.
