New Shoots at Tuntable Preschool

It’s uplifting to see preschools provide diverse programming and teach genuine Life Skills.

At Tuntable preschool it is our commitment to teach toddlers practical skills about how to live sustainably in our world. Lived experiences are vital for growing minds.

In the preschool garden patch the children plant, weed, tend soil and harvest their produce. They take their produce to the kitchen, where they make yummy food for themselves and their school community. They put their scraps into the school worm farms, to make compost for them to garden with.

What an amazing experience about the cycles of life and our roles within!

This term Tuntable Preschool will start some propagation days. The kids can learn how to take cuttings, sow seeds, pot, water and plant their stock. There will be lots of plant ID as they embark on journeys of discovery within the preschool grounds and find out what plants can be propagated and how.

Keep an eye out for the Tuntable preschool nursery stalls in the coming year as they learn about the retail side of the horticultural world!

There is nothing more rewarding for children than feeling connected to their space by planting something. It’s going to be amazing to watch their propagation skills grow over the year, like so many little shoots germinating.
