Register a Bush Kinder Activity Plan

Before you head out for your first bush kinder session, you can register your program by creating a Bush Kinder Activity Plan.

Whether you're visiting once a week or once a month, the Bush Kinder Activity Plan will prefill your visit details according to the recurring pattern and schedule that you select. This means you can submit just one form for the whole term, semester or year.
