Exploratory Play at Goodman Arts Centre

Clean Up, Or Else! 


Household chores balloon to enormous proportions to encourage active exploration and literary fun through poems and play to bring home the messages of shared responsibilities and of building good habits. This playful idea is BIG on imagination and builds upon supersizing poems and play to encourage family conversation around the values of kindness, helpfulness and responsibility over personal and shared spaces at home.

A Curious Garden


Going back to where it all started and jumpstarting our curiosity again with this new arts space!


Hop on toadstools, dance with the garden gnomes or hide in the treehouse! Spot the reimagined rocks in a garden and the colourful trail which may take your mind to new places of discovery. The Artground is where we are inspired by Loris Malaguzzi to celebrate our children's not one, but their hundred languages; of speaking, of playing, of marvelling, of wondrous new ways of being. Come explore and let your imagination take flight in our visual arts space at One Holland Village.
