Going Wild – TimberNook South Adelaide

Wondering what children do at TimberNook?

TimberNook programs carefully balance both planned experiences and free play for children. TimberNook experiences are selected based on their therapeutic value and ability to inspire children to think and play in new and creative ways. During free play, TimberNook providers step back and children are empowered to problem-solve, take risks, and develop complex play schemes. TimberNook programs are designed to build gross and fine motor skills, support the development of a healthy vestibular system, and enhance attention, team-work and creativity.

About ‘Going Wild’

Going Wild is for children who enjoy taking play to a whole new level through collaborative, creative, and sensory-immersive experiences with friends new and old.  We guarantee an experience full of adventures, games, and surprises!  There will also be plenty of time for tinkering and hours of child-led play!

Who are the team?

At TimberNook South Adelaide, we have a small and dedicated team who facilitate each program. We have diverse professional backgrounds including health, education and conservation psychology. What unites us is a passion for seeing children outdoors in sensory-rich natural environments that support their health, happiness, and well-being. All of our team have a current DCSI clearance for working with children and have completed first aid training. We have a maximum ratio of 8 children to every adult, with a maximum of 32 children per session.

What do we need to bring?

We are a fully outdoor program so please bring suitable clothing for the daily weather conditions, and (at least) one full change of clothes to allow for new clothes after water/messy play. Children should also bring a labelled water bottle, lunch, morning and afternoon snack.
