Outdoor Environment
Individualised learning for your child in Lake Cathie
Hear what our customers have to say:
“This is my daughters first year at Cowarra Park. At the start I was a little nervous about sending her to a large centre at only 6months of age. However, over the past 5 months I have become extremely comfortable with all of the staff in the ‘Wombats’ room. Their constant support, and nurturing personalities make my daughter and I fell welcome every day when we walk through the door. The staff have been so kind, reassuring and have made the transition from home life to day-care four days a week extremely easy and enjoyable, helping to minimise the ‘Mother Guilt.’ My daughter has become really comfortable, and has formed lovely relationships with all the ‘Wombat staff’, this was my main priority as her mother. I will forever be grateful for the time and effort they have put into my daughter and making sure all her needs are met to the best of their ability. They have all been great!”
Learning in the outdoor environment
Learning in the outdoor environment
At Cowarra Park Preschool, we value the importance of the outdoor environment and its role in your child's development. Providing a large space on a spectacular one-acre piece of land, a variety of natural playscapes and open-ended natural materials, our outdoor environment encourages exploration, curiosity and engagement.
Children are provided with the opportunity to engage with the natural environment and are encouraged to develop appreciation and respect for nature. We invite the children at our preschool to play an active role in a number of outdoor activities including recycling and composting and water conservation. We also have a vegetable garden where the children regularly enjoy planting, maintaining and harvesting a variety of vegetables.
If you would like to visit our centre and see the outdoor environment in which your child will learn and grow, then please contact us to arrange an appointment.

A culture of respect and appreciation of the natural environment is encouraged at Cowarra Park Preschool, through children playing an active role in:
