the get grubby program
The Get Grubby Program is an innovative online curriculum subscription service, designed for both Early Years Educators and young Families. It focuses on nature and sustainability, and features bespoke video content with dirtgirl, scrapboy and Costa the Garden Gnome, activity kits, educator guides and email editions - all created to encourage active participation in sustainability learning and fun. Delivered in two distinct membership streams, EDUCATOR and FAMILY, these two programs are helping to grow a brighter future for children across the nation.
for educators
We aspire to create confident, resilient and involved learners by combining play and intentional teaching. It is a holistic approach that recognises that the best outcomes for sustainability learning are achieved through practical activities that engage mind, body and spirit to build everyday behaviours. dirtgirlworld has created an easy-to-access, self serve, online program that childhood centres and schools can utilise and adapt to best suit their sustainability education objectives.
Educators can choose units and eco celebrations to inspire participation across a range of activities that can be enjoyed outdoors, indoors and taken home.The program is a set of guided learning experiences to educate and inspire young children to care for nature. Each unit features hours of practical activities and reward-based content, including video treats and achievement certificates. It is designed to reinforce positive sustainability learning experiences for young children and helps spread the message into their family environment and the wider community.

Caring for the world around us is just the natural way to grow up and The Get Grubby Program encourages kids to get outside, get grubby and dig the Earth…to make the connection!
As storytellers and changemakers, we are exploring the positivity of behavioral change in a world facing the very real challenges of climate change. We aim to celebrate an engaged and beautiful sustainable life where being connected to the natural world is addictive and delightful and fun. We avoid ineffective and the overtly worthy, finger pointing approach and definitely steer clear of fear based communications. Connecting the real world to The Get Grubby Program is an incredible strength of the program. Educators and Familes are encouraged to celebrate nature and sustainability all year round with our Get Grubby Calendar!
“the get grubby program is narrative driven,
