How our story began

About

What started as a group of dedicated people exploring ways to improve child care has grown into a thriving organisation making a difference every day.

Adventure Patch helps to bring the adventure back into childcare.

We are a proud Tasmanian not-for-profit child care provider, with a strong focus on fun, exploring and imagination.

Our quality educators create a safe and nurturing environment for your child.  We offer multiple care options including long day care, outside school hours care and vacation care in the greater Hobart region. We also offer a state-wide Family Day Care service through the Adventure Patch Family Day Care Communities.

Adventure Patch encourages outdoor and self-directed play, getting messy and having fun within caring and safe boundaries.

Our Educators share a philosophy of taking childcare back to the basics.

We are passionate about your child’s development and seek to give a grounded and quality child care experience.

If you’d like more information, please contact us now and together we can inspire and support the next generation of children to grow, explore and play.

Our Philosophy

The Adventure Patch philosophy has been created by Adventure Patch Educators, children and families of our service in mind.

Our philosophy underpins our work and our interactions, representing our desire to create a fun, adventurous, and caring environment for your family, community, and our Adventure Patch Team.

Adventurous play is at the heart of childhood and simply the most important thing we offer children. Through play children and adults learn to respectfully engage with the world and the people around them.

In the natural environment, children and educators grow and learn to be curious and explore.

These opportunities encourage children gaining self-regulation skills to enhance their resilience, build friendship, self-worth, and a sense of social conscience.

We create an inclusive environment where every individual can feel safe, valued and happy.
