JOIN US!!

Intentionally designed nature – based program run by an experienced Occupational Therapist (OT) using evidence based approaches.
Developmentally appropriate and sensory nature connection activities to support CALM, CARING, CONFIDENCE, COORDINATION and CONNECTION for all children and families
You will be supported to spend time in nature with your family while increasing your child’s physical, cognitive, psychological and social development as well as their environmental awareness.

Activities in the program develop into a routine that you and your children will learn.
We have group time (acknowledgement of country, nature activities, sharing, reflections, learning, social skills),
Intentionally designed sensory nature connection activities for calming bodies and minds, caring for nature, confidence building, coordination development and connection with ourselves and each other. These are all play based activities and the children don’t realise all the learning they are doing!!
There is also free play time as this unstructured time with ‘loose parts’ in nature is so important for your child’s development.
Time for parents/carers to have a moments in nature to notice and connect themselves is also an important part of the program! It is so good for all of us!!
The program is flexible and adaptable to the needs of the families, so feedback and comments about challenges you might be facing are welcome, so we can all support each other!
A detailed invoice can be provided for a small $25 admin fee so you can claim the program with your NDIS funding. Please add this admin fee ticket to your program ticket if this funding applies to you (You may need to check with your NDIS plan if you are covered for Occupational Therapy first).

Come and be supported to connect with nature and experience the health and wellbeing benefits for yourself and your child!

Gather your children and family, rug up and join us for a morning of nature connection and fun with other Jessie Brown families!
We will be experiencing the benefits of nature and play, the importance of connecting as families and community, and how we can support our natural environments.
Family ticket $20
All families in the extended Jessie Brown community welcome!
Dress for the weather as we plan to embrace nature’s winter of cold, rain or sun! (unless unsafe). This means wear warm layers, beanies, gloves, waterproof jackets and pants, and boots for children and adults. An umbrella and a change of clothes may be useful!
This event is for the whole family, and you will therefore be responsible for the care and safety of yourself and your child/ children throughout the session.
You are welcome to bring a picnic lunch for after the session to stay and continue to enjoy nature, and having a snack before the session might be a good idea too!
You will need to pay an entry fee to drive into the national park. Did you know you can get a yearly pass for Belair National Park online, so you can enjoy the benefit all throughout the year! Great birthday gift for kids and families!
Also be aware there may be limited parking at Pines 2 Area, however there is lots of further parks a little walk away, so allow yourself enough time to arrive.
This event will be guided by Prue Spry, a Jessie Brown parent who is also an occupational therapist and owner of Play Naturally OT. She supports children and families to connect with nature and each other through play for the health and wellbeing of themselves and the planet.
Contact Prue at prue@playnaturallyot.com.au or Jessie Brown Pre-Kindergarten at info@jessiebrown.com.au for tickets!
