Dino Encounters Childcare Centre Incursions (Toddler to Kindy)

Dino Encounters childcare incursions.

Dino Encounters has specially designed packages for kindergarten and childcare centres.

Toddlers (ages 2-3) can enjoy a bite-sized experience with a friendly baby dinosaur, complete with petting experience and storybook reading. This performance is short, sweet, and packed with easily digestible information to interest and delight your littlest learners.

Their presenters understand the sensitivities of very young children and will adapt their performances to suit their audience.

Older children (ages 3-5) will love the interactive show: patting baby dinosaurs, causing volcanic eruptions, digging for fossils, and meeting a fully-grown raptor! Their presenters will make the most of their fossil displays and live specimens to teach the audience palaeontology and geology at an easy and accessible level all wrapped up in a high-energy show.

From only one room to your whole centre, Dino Encounters can cater for your groups. Childcare centre packages range from 1-2.5 hours, depending on the number of children, and are designed to fit in with your daily routines.
