At Mirambeena, we believe that play is the essential medium through which children learn. Our tailored programs are centred on play-based learning, which helps children organise and make sense of their social worlds as they actively engage with people, objects, and ideas. By observing each child’s interests and needs, we provide a program that is responsive, relevant, and tailored to support individual growth.

Our approach is dynamic and flexible, extending children’s skills, knowledge, and abilities in meaningful ways. The natural environment is an integral part of our program. Children are encouraged to explore, discover, and develop respect for native wildlife and the land they play on. Outdoor experiences foster resilience, self-confidence, initiative, experimentation, social connections, and self-regulation. Nature play is deeply embedded in our practice, nurturing environmental awareness, strengthening children’s connection to Country, and laying the foundation for lifelong care and respect for the natural world.

We are committed to embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives throughout our programs, helping children develop an appreciation for Australia’s First Nations cultures, histories, and knowledge. Cultural diversity is also celebrated, with opportunities for children to explore and respect a wide range of cultural traditions, languages, and perspectives.
