Wonderhood is a premium nature-based playgroup designed for children aged 2–5 years, offering a magical blend of sensory play, storytelling, and seasonal exploration. I’m Yasmine, the founder and facilitator behind Wonderhood — a space where childhood wonder is nurtured through thoughtful, high-quality early learning experiences.

Each class follows a gentle, consistent rhythm: we begin with a welcome song and a fun guessing game to introduce the day’s nature theme. Children then dive into hands-on activities — from planting seeds and painting with mud, to building animal shelters or exploring textures from the bush. We wind down with a themed story and a sticker in their nature journal to celebrate their learning.

Our playgroup themes change weekly and flow with the seasons — helping little ones connect with the natural world and themselves. Every detail is carefully considered, from the earthy, calming space to our beautifully designed take-home materials. We also introduce our whimsical mascots like Poppy Puddleboots and Stella Sparkle, who guide the children through stories and play with a sense of magic and meaning.

Wonderhood is more than a playgroup — it’s a grounded, premium early learning experience that supports emotional regulation, creativity, social confidence, and a deep sense of belonging. It’s a place where children feel safe to explore, slow down, and grow — one wonder-filled moment at a time!
