We are proud creators of sustainable lifestyle and education environments that consider the health of our children, our future and our earth.
“Since updating our playground, there’s been an increase in engagement by the staff using the space and more time spent outdoors. ”
We specialise in creating outdoor play environments that foster natural learning and build confidence in young children. Our learning playgrounds feature natural elements to allow for sensory exploration and give children the chance to care for their environment - nurturing a sense of responsibility and connectedness to nature at all times.
We visit each centre to meet their staff and children and directly address their learning goals with a unique design for their outdoor learning environment. Our design philosophy is aligned to play-based learning and incorporates elements of beneficial risk with expert consideration for NQS, EYLF and OH&S.
By incorporating natural elements as the valuable resources they are, we create massive positive change in the educational practices that impact children, educators, families and communities.
One of our missions is to bring our expertise of sustainability, including the sustainable development of children, to educators and Centres across Australia and the world. When you receive a Wearthy environment you receive a fully integrated network of play, learning and support. Our service extends beyond the building - we want to ensure that the children and staff at your Centre enjoy all the fun and learning outcomes that the natural environment has to offer.
“The children are so proud of their space. They’re always cooking with the produce from their garden and even selling the extras to parents. ”
More centres today are ready to embrace the learning opportunities the great outdoors can provide children. Utilising our experience and services, we can design, build and certify a sustainable playground or outdoor learning environment for your centre or community today. Whether it’s a brand new build or existing play area renovation, we provide a detailed and unique concept with innovative play elements that always take into account regulations.
We pride ourselves on our compelling designs and high-quality workmanship. Everything we do is customised for your centre. We are conscious of our environmental impact and source sustainably by looking for products that are non-toxic and long-lasting.
Our outdoor learning environments incorporate functional and sustainable learning features including edible gardens, composting, water tanks, and optional chicken coops.
We offer a complete package to transform your centre – from design, build and installation to certification, maintenance and education.
In a design workshop, we discuss your short and long-term goals while working towards your budget to create a suitable concept for your purpose-built play environment.
We bring in a full team for demolition, construction, planting and turf. Working alongside your team, we submit your waiver application and make ourselves present onsite to meet with the Department for licensing (new build) or clearance.
Lukas is a fully qualified playground certifier, which means we can design your playground with the Australian Standards in mind and certify relevant structures as they are built.
Once installation is complete, Lukas will walk your educators through how to maximise the learning opportunities in your play environment. He also runs a training on how to care for, maintain and assess the playground.
Lukas runs engaging professional development workshops for centres to create a culture around sustainability and child-centred learning. His trainings include Embedding Sustainable Practices in Early Childhood, Risky Play and Sustainability Audits.
