Children love playing and learning outdoors. There are countless health benefits for young children during time spent outdoors. In this 1.5-hour training, participants will learn how to think beyond the fenced outdoor space to find pockets of nature in the spaces children spend time daily. Participants will learn skills and ideas for taking children on an exploratory walk of their community to find plants, animals, and natural elements in all environments. Participants will also review safety guidelines and best practice in exploring beyond the licensed space. Through exploration of their local environments, children will begin to see and experience their communities in new ways.
This training is offered as a part of Early Childhood Health Outdoors (ECHO).
