How the Outdoors Can Help Your Child Learn and Grow.  At Waves, we often talk about the importance of play in early childhood. But there’s one kind of play that holds something extra special: nature play. Whether it’s collecting sticks in the backyard, watching birds from a window, or jumping in puddles after the rain, nature has a unique way of helping children grow, explore, and thrive.

At Waves Early Learning, NAIDOC Week is an important opportunity for celebration, reflection, and connection but it is never treated as a one-off event. We recognise that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, and perspectives are a vital part of Australia’s identity, and we are committed to embedding these respectfully and meaningfully throughout our everyday curriculum and practice.
