Welcome to Tall Tree Early Learning - Banksia Grove
Nothing stops a child in their tracks like nature. Simple discoveries that spark intrigue and curiosity. Simple objects catapulted into tools of imagination and storytelling. Simple games that allow for growth of a little person’s self-belief and strength of spirit. Nature, where we all began and where we now find ourselves returning. Welcome to ‘Nature School’ at Tall Tree Early Learning, Banksia Grove.
Tall Tree Early Learning in Banksia Grove is a little different in approach and pedagogy in all the best possible ways. Located on a semi-rural plot in an agricultural area, children are immersed in 'Nature School', a concept born from learning outdoors, fully immersed in natural landscape and bushland. Still with a strong Reggio Emilia influence but with a focus on nature and what it offers to our children. Here at 'Nature School' we pay homage to both First Australians and European Settlers alike, through a celebration of Aboriginal traditions and agriculture historic to the area. We allow the fabric of stories from those who came before us to guide and teach us, as we find our way today.
Our Banksia Grove children are welcomed into the Homestead building where their day begins with Drop-off, breakfast and group discussion with their educators about what adventures they might engage in. Children are then released into the wonderous natural bush that surrounds and invited to engage in pre-planned experiences or engage in the opportunity to truly express themselves through their own physical, social and imaginative play.
