Our Outdoor Nature Playgroup

A parent-accompanied nature playgroup - on a real farm

Most playgroups in Singapore happen indoors, in a room. Ours happens outdoors, on a working farm - where toddlers feed real fish, dig for compost worms, plant a seedling with their own hands, and watch it grow. It's messy, sensory, joyful learning, with you right there beside them.

  • ๐Ÿ‘ถ Best for ages 2-6 - our Little Farmers programme, pitched to the NEL framework for the early years.
  • ๐Ÿค Parent-accompanied - grown-ups join in, so even the littlest ones feel safe to explore.
  • ๐ŸŒฟ Outdoors & hands-on - real fish, real soil, real worms, real vegetables. Nothing on a screen.
  • ๐Ÿงบ Take something home - a planted seedling or mini growing kit to keep the learning going.
What age is playgroup? Playgroup usually starts around 18 months to 3 years old. Our nature playgroup sessions welcome toddlers from age 2 and run right up to age 6, with the pace and activities matched to your child's stage.

Why Choose TDA Courses

Real systems. Real science. Real fun.

Every course is led by our founding doctors and farm educators, blending science, sustainability and hands-on skill-building - no two sessions feel the same because every group gets a tailored experience.

Live aquaponics systems

Students observe and help maintain real fish-and-plant ecosystems, not diagrams in a textbook.

Vermicomposting & soil science

Get hands-on with compost worms and learn how waste becomes nutrient-rich soil.

STEM-aligned takeaways

Lessons connect to biology, chemistry and sustainability syllabi - perfect for learning journeys.

Doctor-led education

Programmes are designed and often led by our two founding doctors, blending medical and farming expertise.

Build-your-own mini systems

Participants assemble and take home mini aquaponics or compost set-ups from select sessions.

Flexible group sizes

From small family groups to full classroom cohorts - we tailor pacing and activities to fit.

Mapped To The Syllabus

Aligned to the MOE Science syllabus & NEL framework

Our age-tiered programmes turn syllabus topics into hands-on, real-farm experiences - so the learning sticks. Tell us your child's level and we'll match the right session.

ProgrammeLevelFrameworkScience topics brought to life
Little Farmers Pre-school / K1-K2 (ages 3-6) NEL framework Living things, plant life cycles, the senses, caring for nature
Junior Farmers Lower Primary (P1-P3) MOE Science (P3) Living & non-living things, plant parts, life cycles, the aquaponics cycle
Eco-Scientists Upper Primary (P4-P6) MOE Science ยท PSLE-relevant Photosynthesis, transport in plants, food chains & webs, decomposers, the nitrogen cycle, water testing & man's impact on the environment

๐Ÿ’ก For schools: we provide pre- and post-visit notes for teachers and can align activities to the exact topics your class is covering. Available as a single learning journey or a multi-week enrichment programme with a take-home lab journal.

Centres pay for the children only. When your childcare or preschool arranges the visit, teachers and accompanying parents come free - so a class of 20 with 6 adults is still priced for 20. Message us your group size and level, and we'll send a quote back the same day.

What To Expect

A typical session, from start to "can we come again?"

  • 1. Welcome & orientation - meet the team, get a safety briefing, and learn what aquaponics is all about.
  • 2. Guided system walkthrough - see how fish waste becomes plant food in a live closed-loop system.
  • 3. Hands-on activity - feed the fish, plant seedlings, handle compost worms, or assemble a mini system.
  • 4. Reflection & takeaways - a short recap connecting what participants did to bigger ideas about sustainability and health.

What Teachers Say

Hands-on learning they keep talking about

"Our students were completely engaged for the whole session - they're still talking about feeding the fish weeks later! A wonderfully run enrichment programme."
