Gardening is a healthy and fun activity for children that can help them develop new skills and learn about science and nature from growing their own food. It’s also a rewarding process! Here at Aussie Adventures Child Care and Kindergarten we love and enjoy gardening, along with learning and developing new skills, such as:
- Responsibility: from caring for plants
- Self-confidence: from achieving their goals and enjoying the food they have grown
- Love of nature: a chance to learn about the outdoor environment in a safe and pleasant place
- Reasoning and discovery: learning about the science of plants, animals, weather, the environment, nutrition
- Physical activity: doing something fun and productive
- Cooperation: including shared play activity and teamwork
- Creativity: finding new and exciting ways to grow food
- Nutrition: learning about where fresh food comes from
