Grant Description
The Bush Kinder Grants Program provides one-off grants of $6,000 per eligible Victorian kindergarten service to establish a new, or enhance an existing, bush kinder program that delivers regular outdoor, nature-based learning. Aiming to reduce barriers to outdoor learning and increase engagement with nature, the program targets three- and four-year-old kindergarten cohorts, prioritising off-site programs in natural settings. Across four years, up to 150 services per year will be supported to improve children’s wellbeing and learning outcomes through play in natural environments.
