About
Little Muddy Hands is owned and operated by a qualified Early Childhood Educator and Gardner, both very passionate about educating young children to care for our environment and develop an interest exploring their garden.
Children are supported to become environmentally responsible and show respect for the environment (NQF 3.3.2)
Tamara has worked in the Early Childhood field for over 20yrs and knows how time consuming running a high quality program can be. Tamara wanted a program that was educational for the children and gave the children a hands on appraoch to learning. Tamara and Adam wanted to create a program that was more than just gardening, something to envoke an interest in playing outdoors while learning more about the environment.
Little Muddy Hands will provide all equipment needed to run the program. At the conclusion of each lesson Tamara will email through written documentation required for display.
Our program starts with teaching the Children about parts of a plant and the germination process, sustainable and natural ways to keep and grow an edible garden.
Testimonial
Tamara and Adam have worked with us to tailor make a program that suits our centres and children’s need. Each week is an exciting extension from the next. The children are eager to see what they can work on each week and Miss Tamara and Mr Adam make the sessions fun and suitable for all ages in attendance.
