What to Expect
At Moa Park, your wildlings will have space to climb, explore and relax within our nature-inspired Christmas-themed play.
We’ll be setting up under the trees on the other side of the playground, surrounded by open space and shaded spots perfect for curious wildlings.
Expect open-ended, sensory-rich opportunities to engage with the sunshine, fresh air and the magic of the season.
Our outdoor Stay & Play sessions are designed for children aged 0–5 years and their caregivers. Created by qualified Early Childhood Teachers, these playgroups provide enriching, nature-led experiences that support exploration, creativity and connection, while fostering meaningful moments between parent and child.
Our play stations are thoughtfully designed to accommodate all ages and stages. With a mixture of low tables, ground-level trays, natural resources, and creative setups, every child, whether 6 months or 5 years, is seen as capable, curious and competent. Children are encouraged to explore at their own pace in a supportive environment.
What You’ll Find at This Session:
- Child-led, nature-inspired play stations
- Messy, sensory, water and creative experiences
- Christmas-season themed exploration
- A welcoming, supportive space for parents and caregivers
- Time to slow down, be present and make memories
- Plenty of messy fun, bring older clothes, gumboots, or wet-weather gear
- A towel and spare clothes are recommended!
🧺 Bring a picnic blanket and snacks if you’d like to enjoy kai during or after the session. Moa Park is a beautiful spot to sit in the sun, relax and let the morning unfold naturally.
