Ocean discovery education

Early Childhood

Our engaging early childhood programs cater for toddlers, Kindy and Pre-Primary aged children. Our objective is to cultivate an early fascination and affection for the ocean among our youngest audience, by introducing fundamental concepts and igniting their curiosity about the sea.

During our session, we will discuss intriguing details about various ocean creatures, exploring their habitats, survival strategies and the importance of safeguarding both their wellbeing and the marine environment.

Ocean Explorer (T&PK)

Our youngest audience (over 2 years old) can participate in this concise program that focuses on an interactive, exploratory introduction to the ocean! We talk about where animals live, how they survive, how they eat, what eats them and what their job is. A touch-and-feel session with the animals, specimens and equipment is included.

Ocean Discovery Education Reviews

Charlotte presented a specialised session on sharks. She was very engaging and communicated her in-depth knowledge well.

I liked that Charlotte works with teachers to deliver a tailored, engaging incursion that is unique. It's great that students have the opportunity to observe and touch a variety of marine specimens.

Prendiville Catholic College

The entire Year 3 cohort became Ocean Trailblazer's after completing the 'Birth & Beyond' program on marine life cycles. Charlotte brought a diverse array of marine specimens, including sea stars, brittle stars, sea cucumbers, shells and shark jaws to educate about life cycles in a tangible and captivating way. This tactile approach enriched our students' scientific understanding and instilled an appreciation for marine conservation.

Our toddlers, pre-kindy and kindy children really enjoyed this incursion. It was very engaging and hands-on. The children loved holding the sea stars, watching the crabs and touching the different textured shells.

It was pitched well for the age group, with a great range of resources!

Sarah (Kindy Teacher)
Cottesloe Kindergarten & Childcare

Ocean Discovery Education delivered an amazing, in-depth session to our Year 12 students. Charlotte customised the content to provide students with valuable knowledge about Rottnest Island (Wadjemup), in preparation for their camp.

Interacting with the underwater treasures and animals (especially the live sea stars) was a highlight!

Jasmin (Year 12 Outdoor Education Teacher)
Al-Ameen College

What I liked about the Ocean Pioneer 'Waves of Change' session was the conservation message, the live animals, and marine specimens. The presenter was knowledgeable and the students were really engaged. They particularly loved the shell collection, shark jaws, corals, sea stars, and hermit crabs.

Taylor (Year 6 Teacher)
Bassendean Primary School

The Year 1's really enjoyed the hands-on aspect of the incursion. This experience provides children with the opportunity to 'learn through doing'.

Charlotte was engaging and knowledgeable - having all those qualifications and life experiences enhanced the children's learning immensely!
