School Wildlife Programs for Preschool | Australian Reptiles Incursions

Preschool

“My mission is to create a world where we can live in harmony with nature. And can I do that alone? No. So there is a whole army of youth that can do it. So I suppose my mission is to reach as many of those young people as I can through my own efforts.”
– Jane Goodall

Early learning framework

Children are connected with and contribute to their world

Our passionate and knowledgeable Wildlife Ambassadors will captivate children and teachers alike during our one hour educational and interactive programs, which are fully focused on the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework.

We aim to create a positive shift in how kids relate to, care about and treat wildlife. In short, we want to help shape a generation of better humans. And with a Diamond Python, a Frilled Neck Lizard and a Saltwater Crocodile in our crew, we think we’ll have just the guests to make a lasting impression…
