Early Learning Centre Nature-based outdoor learning environments for early learning centres
Childcare outdoor play spaces are where children spend significant portions of their formative years. At Wearthy, we design nature-based playgrounds specifically for early learning centres, kindergartens, and preschools that support developmental milestones across physical, cognitive, social, and emotional domains.
Since 2013, we've partnered with childcare providers across Australia to create outdoor environments that go beyond compliance. Our designs transform outdoor spaces into rich learning landscapes where children can explore, take appropriate risks, and develop a lasting connection with nature.
Our designs meet National Quality Framework requirements for outdoor learning environments, including appropriate space, shade, and developmental opportunities outlined in the National Quality Standard.
All playgrounds are designed and built to AS 4685 Australian playground safety standards with appropriate fall zones, soft fall surfaces, and supervision sightlines.
We create distinct zones for different developmental stages, from babies and toddlers through to preschoolers, ensuring challenges are appropriate while maintaining safety.
Water play, sand pits, sensory gardens, and textured surfaces provide rich sensory experiences essential for early childhood development.
Native plants, natural materials, and wildlife-attracting features connect children with the natural world during their most formative years.
Our outdoor spaces are designed to extend learning opportunities from the classroom, supporting the Early Years Learning Framework outcomes.
