BestStart Jones Crescent Kindy

At BestStart Jones Crescent one of our biggest treasures (other than our children and families) is what we call our orchard.

Our orchard is filled with fruit trees for us to climb, and and tasty treats for us to try! The orchard is also where we dig for worms and explore logs for bugs to feed our animals! The orchard is home to three chickens and two rabbits, but we also have a frog.

From the street we may look like a regular kindy but we are a hidden oasis of nature. With our orchard as our muse, we find ways to incorporate nature into all of our classrooms throughout the centre, we have an indoor, outdoor flow of natural resources and activities.

There is as much to treasure in nature as there is to treasure in each child in our care. Just like the diversity of nature each child brings something unique and valuable to our learning community.
