Early Childhood Incursions

"Children are connected with, and contribute to, their world.”
“Children become aware of the impact of the local environment, both physical and social, on their lives. They learn ways to care for the environment and contribute to a sustainable future.

Children are naturally
curious about the world around them,

and Aussie Wildlife Experiences aims to engage that curiosity with our exciting preschool incursions.

Your preschoolers will have the opportunity to meet, interact with and learn about a wide range of Australian native wildlife in a safe, fun and engaging way.

Our incursions provide a positive and supportive experience in which children can learn about a range of native animals through safe interaction and fun learning, in an environment the children are already comfortable and familiar with.

Our Early Childhood Incursions are perfectly suited to:


Kindergartens & preschools


Early learning centres


Long day care


Family day care


Playgroups


Community programs


Mother’s groups



Preschool students will learn about:


The features of different animals and animal groups


Where a species is found and how it survives in its environment



Food chains how animals find their food


Life cycles


…and lots more!
