Our Spring Garden: A Holistic Haven for Children
As the sun starts to peek through the clouds and flowers begin to bloom, we are thrilled to welcome you to our newly refreshed outdoor area at POD. Designed with your little adventurers in mind, our space is not just a playground, but a holistic environment that nurtures every aspect of your child's development
So, let's take a stroll through the various touchpoints of our outdoor play space, where each corner invites children to explore, learn, and grow in unique ways.

Sports and adventure


Physical Area: Where Adventurers, Bike Riders and Sports Stars Thrive


At POD we believe in the power of movement and active play. Our physical area is a hub of excitement, encouraging climbing, scooter races, and imaginative role-play adventures. From scaling climbing frames to setting up their own café or castle, children are empowered to take (measured!) risks, engage in independent play, and learn valuable lessons about sharing and turn-taking. And don't forget our daily mile activities, where every step is a celebration of physical achievement!


Spiritual Area: Nurturing Friendships and Inner Harmony


In our spiritual area, friendships blossom, and inner peace is cultivated. Through activities like teamwork exercises, yoga sessions, and moments of quiet reflection, children learn the importance of collaboration, self-awareness, and emotional well-being. Whether they're putting on a cheerleading performance or practicing mindfulness with calming music and chimes, this space is a sanctuary for nurturing the soul.

creative explorers


Intellectual Area: Unleashing Nature Detectives, Minibeast Finders, and Creative Explorers


Where curiosity reigns supreme! Here, children don their detective hats as they explore the wonders of nature, from planting gardens to observing bugs in our POD Palace. Through hands-on projects like building bird feeders and embarking on imaginative adventures aboard our imagination bus, little minds are inspired to think creatively, solve problems, and unleash their inner explorers.

Mud kitchen


Social Area: Where Storytellers, Mud Kitchen Cooks, and Weather Explorers Unite


Step into our social hub, where stories come to life, mud pies are on the menu, and every weather phenomenon is an opportunity for discovery! Through activities like storytelling circles, mud kitchen creations, and weather experiments, children develop communication skills, creativity, and an appreciation for the world around them. Rain or shine, there's always magic to be found in our social corner.

spiritual garden


Emotional Area: Fostering Curiosity, Artistry, Mindfulness, and Respect for Others


Last but certainly not least, our emotional area is a haven for self-expression and growth. Whether children are engaging in sensory play, creating art, or finding moments of quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, this space encourages curiosity, artistic exploration, and respect for themselves and others. It's a place where every emotion is valued, and every child feels seen and heard.

Our outdoor space at POD isn't just a playground or a garden —it's a holistic retreat where children can thrive physically, spiritually, intellectually, socially, and emotionally. So, come rain or shine, we invite your little ones to embark on a journey of exploration, learning, and endless discovery in our enchanted outdoor oasis.
