Early Learning Centres

Our Education Programs

Our programs have been designed to support the Early Years Learning Framework, Outcome 2. Through hands on, animal interaction programs, children explore the natural world and begin to understand the interdependence between land, people, plants and animals.

Sustainability and conservation are highlighted, and children are made aware of how human activity can impact environments. After connecting with our friendly animals, children will show a greater appreciation and respect for Australia’s wildlife.

Our year fills up quickly so get in touch today to make sure you get the dates that work best for your centre. Covid Safe programs, all rangers are fully vaccinated and we operate under a covid safe plan. 

Hands on Wildlife is based in Townsville and
we provide our mobile school incursions throughout North Queensland.
