Our Nature Approach

A childhood with leaves underfoot and sky overhead.

We believe early learning is richest when it's rooted in the natural world. Every room, every routine and every educator at Currumbin Village is built around that belief.

Come see for yourself
  • Bushland on the doorstep

    Our outdoor playground borders a protected reserve. Children hear birdsong, watch lorikeets pass through, and feel the cool of the canopy every single day.

  • Gardens you can eat

    Edible gardens, sensory beds and worm farms turn snack time into a lesson in where food really comes from.

  • Wildlife as teachers

    Through our Green Earth Kids™ program with Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, children meet native animals and learn how to care for them.

  • Indoor–outdoor, all day

    Four purpose-built rooms open onto covered verandas so play flows freely between inside warmth and outside wonder, rain or shine.

Green Earth Kids™

A conservation classroom, in partnership with Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.

Green Earth Kids™ is a Currumbin Village original. In collaboration with the Sanctuary, children meet native wildlife, learn how habitats work, and grow up with a lifelong respect for the natural world they share.
