A return to an organic model of education.
Welcome
My name is Eleanor de Jager, Experienced Teacher, Passionate Playworker and Mother to two beautiful, bright children.
I welcome you to Homegrown Nature Play and Education; where we:
nurture the whole child
nurture a sense of wonder
nurture a love of learning
It is the space I created for my children and for yours.
A home- away-from-home, where children are free to learn and grow organically. Our time together is rich, intentional, meaningful, slow, simple, connected and joyful.
Homegrown inspires new ways of learning and living, and aims to revolutionise education in our own backyard.
Homegrown Offerings
Homegrown provides nature-based play and learning programs for children with a strong emphasis on nurturing the whole child. A child’s wellbeing is of utmost importance to us.
Playgrow is a fortnightly all ages playgroup for children (most suitable for birth to 12 years) and their parents. A lovely unstructured morning filled with play and connection at our Homegrown Play base.
Evergrow is a full day drop-off service. Our time is spent predominantly outdoors. We welcome many local Eco-Experts into our Homegrown base, and venture out into community so that our children can experience the perfect blend of World and Wild Learning experiences..
Guiding Principals
Children are beautifully, uniquely and wonderfully made.
Time in nature is necessary for a child’s wellbeing.
Learning must be holistic, heart-centred and wholesome.
Child-Led, Unstructured, Adventurous play is honoured and valued.
Children are not products to be measured, but souls to be set free to become who they are made to be.
