Play & Learn

At Encounter Lutheran College, we believe in the power of early learning experiences that inspire wonder, foster connection, and nurture the whole child. Our Encounter Nature Playgroup and Books Alive! programs offer engaging and meaningful opportunities for preschool-aged children and their families to connect with our College community.

These free, play-based sessions invite families on the South Coast to explore nature, enjoy stories, and build community in a warm and nurturing environment. Whether it’s through bushland adventures or the joy of shared stories and songs, children are supported as they grow, learn, and prepare for their journey into school.

Wednesdays

Nature Playgroup

Here at Encounter, we believe that children grow and learn best while engaging with nature. Therefore, we offer an intentional opportunity to engage with our Nature Playgroup program for preschool children living on the South Coast.

Thursdays

Books Alive!

At Encounter, we believe that it is vitally important to expose young children to literature. Reading books together from a young age helps your child become familiar with sounds, words and language, as well as develop early literacy skills. Your child will learn to value books and stories, which in turn sparks their imagination and stimulates their innate curiosity.

A place that looks like school, feels like home...
