Sanctuary Playgroup
Healesville Sanctuary is excited to introduce an eight week playgroup designed for our youngest members and their adult carers.
Sanctuary Playgroup offers a nature-inspired experience through engaging, play-based activities tailored to support children's development and connection with their natural world. These activities may include sensory play, storytelling, song and nature crafts, all centred around a weekly theme.
Designed by Early Childhood Specialists and aligned with the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF), this program aims to foster a positive connection with nature and instil conservation values as your child explores the Sanctuary’s outdoor environments.
By booking into your first date and time slot, you are confirming that you will attend the same time each week for the duration of the term.
