Unfortunately the decision has been made to cancel Alphabet Zoop for the foreseeable future.
I would like to thank every person that has contributed to the success of the last three terms and made this program possible in the first place. A big and special thank you to all our Alphabet Zoop children...I feel privilaged to have been able to share the love of nature with you.

Where in the city of Melbourne can kinder kids connect with nature? At the Zoo of course! I am the designer and a teacher of Alphabet Zoop, a program run by Melbourne Zoo, created to help three and four year olds discover the magic of the zoo and its gorgeous animals. Through this blog, I hope to share with you the adventures of the children of Alphabet Zoop, some of nature's future caretakers. -Ange x
Alphabet Zoop is a educational program based around a weekly letter and animal. Each session consists of a picture story book, a song, a craft activity and a visual or tactile animal experience. The primary aim of this program is to provide a rich, stimulating environment where a child and their caregiver can learn together through music, movement and kinaesthetic activities and develop a strong connectedness with nature.
Alphabet Zoop is available to Zoo members only. If you would like to book a place for our next available program, please visit here
What a shame, such a great immersion program for the little people of Melbourne.... In a fast changing, and electronically focused world, it was amazing to see a sensory program facilitated by the zoo to get our little ones and their families involved.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Ange, on establishing and creating an outstanding program, one which attracted great interest and participation. You set life long foundations for the children you worked with, and I'm sure they will always associate the zoo with love, care and respect!
