Increased outdoor and nature play in early childhood education programs have benefits for children, teachers, and the environment, but many teachers worry that more opportunities for outdoor and nature play will mean less time for teaching the knowledge and skills prescribed in the curriculum. Fortunately, with some thoughtful preparation you can help children learn across the curriculum "through" outdoor and nature play experiences, rather than in spite of them. Join us as we explore learning opportunities hiding in plain sight!
