Childcare

Our mission is to promote conservation through fun education and what better way to do that than for us to bring our Australian Wildlife right to you! The experienced staff at West Oz wildlife believe the best way for children to learn about conserving our beautiful wildlife is through our awesome up close and personal hands on experience. Teaching conservation through education.

What better way to motivate student learning. The experienced staff offer animal based activities that range from observation, animal care, safe animal handling and facts about each animal and the ecosystem in which they live. Such thing include: Habitat, diet, behaviours, adaptations to survive in the wild, interesting features, and a snake safety demonstration on what to do if you see a snake in the wild.

What to expect:

Babies & Toddlers:
We have a separate add on package for baby and toddler rooms. Please contact us for further details.

Kindy Children:
Our education program really motivates the students learning from a range of facts about each animal we bring. We present each animal separately. Talking on each of the species of wildlife. Kindy children will learn about the basic dietary requirements of each animal, where they live and why they look the way they do.

We will discuss the particular habits and environmental needs of each species.

  • Investigate their habitat and discover ways to protect them.
  • Endangered species
  • Special features to help survival in the wild
  • Offspring
  • Snake safety and much more.

All children get the opportunity to get up close and personal with all of the wildlife, they can pat all of the animals, have photos with each species, and hold all of the reptiles.

Our Incursions are tailored to suit Babies, Toddlers & Kindy Children

We recommend anywhere from 1 hour – 2 hours for childcare centres, depending on how many children you have attending.

Prices are quoted on your location upon enquiry.

We bring the wildlife to you!

  • A safe environment
  • We can do our incursions outside undercover, or an area inside works well too
  • We need to be in the same area for the duration of the incursion
  • We need access for our vehicle to get as close as possible to where we are being displayed
