Adelaide Zoo
Visiting the Adelaide Zoo offers children a unique opportunity to learn about wildlife and conservation in an engaging and interactive environment. It fosters curiosity and a love for animals, which is crucial for developing empathy and an understanding of the natural world.
Why this learning experience is important
Educational Enrichment: Children gain firsthand knowledge about different species, their habitats, and the importance of protecting them.
Social Skills: Group outings help children develop social skills as they interact with peers and educators in a new setting.
Physical Activity: Walking around the zoo and engaging in activities promotes physical health and motor skills.
Sensory Experiences: The sights, sounds, and smells of the zoo provide rich sensory experiences that stimulate cognitive development.
Our Educational Connection
Visiting the Adelaide Zoo aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) by supporting the following outcomes:
Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world. Exploring the zoo helps children develop an understanding and respect for the environment and its inhabitants.
Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners. The interactive exhibits and diverse animal species at the zoo encourage children to explore, ask questions, and engage in problem-solving.
Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators. Discussing what they see and experience at the zoo enhances children's language and communication skills.
This hands-on learning experience supports holistic development, making the Adelaide Zoo a valuable destination for our family day care program.
