Kind Farm Program July 2025
We’re so excited to share the launch of our newest initiative – the Meek’s Kindy Farm Program, commencing July 2025!
This innovative, nature-based experience has been thoughtfully designed by Meek and our team to enrich children’s learning through hands-on interaction with our resident goats, chickens, rabbits, and sheep. Each room will have the opportunity to visit the farm regularly to help feed the animals, collect fresh eggs, and participate in caring routines that foster responsibility, empathy, and connection to living things.
The Kindy Farm also provides a rich platform for STEM exploration, environmental awareness, and meaningful conversations around sustainability, life cycles, and animal wellbeing – all while immersed in nature. This program reflects our commitment to delivering engaging, purposeful learning that supports the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and nurtures curious, confident and compassionate learners. Keep an eye out for farmyard updates from our little farmers!
