About us
Seedlings & Co. is a family-owned, nature-based group across Queensland.
We believe children learn best in relationship: with each other, with their educators and with the natural world.
Indoors flows to outdoors and back again, because learning doesn't have walls.
Our children climb, dig, build with real tools and spend real time in bush kindy.
Our practice draws on Finnish and Danish pedagogy, and we take play, risk and learning seriously.
This is a learning community that mentors, stretches and grows its people on purpose.
