INTRODUCING GUMBUYA WORLDS’S ALL NEW CHILDREN’S LEARNING PROGRAM: ‘GUMBUYA WILDLIFE WANDERERS’


Starting from the 2nd of March, Gumbuya World will be hosting a new program made especially for the little ones. It has been designed to teach the younger generation all there is to know about the beautiful wildlife of Australia!

This fun-filled day, that runs every Wednesday, is a day designed for mums and bubs to spend the day together! Activities such as animal themed story time and nature-based games are on offer, as well as much more to participate in and have them entertained. Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet some of the parks very special animals, including Banjo the baby Koala, who is soon turning one year old!

The aim behind the program is to support young children in developing a sense of autonomy. It is important to teach and make children aware of the strong connections that can be built between animals and humans and, alongside this, the level of respect that needs to be shown to our amazing wildlife. These values are something that families everywhere should focus on instilling within their children from a young age.

This program has been specially developed using the Early Years Learning Framework, pulling from these foundations to create an engaging and exciting learning environment for the little ones to experience with their families. According to the Australian Children’s Education & Care Quality Authority, “observing, interacting with, and learning to care for an animal can be a valuable part of a child’s education and care experience, enriching their learning.”

Through the implementation of this program, Gumbuya World hopes to support young children in using their imagination and develop the connection they have with the world around them – with not only the wildlife animals, but nature in general.

Additionally, the ACECQA say that encouraging direct contact and developing bonds with animals, can help children build empathy therefore providing children with access to animals in an education and care service can help them learn about the life cycle and relationships, as well as improve communication.

Each week, the theme will be updated focusing on a new letter of the alphabet – drawing on the connection between education for children and wildlife!

Limited spots are available therefore bookings are essential. For more information, please visit the Gumbuya World website at https://gumbuya.com.au/whatson/wildlife-wanderers/.

Please note that children from 0-5 years of age are free, children's tickets are $19 and adult tickets $25.
