Upcoming Workshops and Events

Discover the benefits of nature-based learning for young children in this engaging and interactive session. We’ll explore how outdoor experiences support early development, from sensory exploration to motor skill growth, while fostering curiosity, resilience, and a deep connection to the natural world. Learn practical strategies for creating safe, enriching outdoor environments that align with young children’s unique needs such as risk-taking, wonder, and balancing routines with nature-based play. Whether you’re an educator, parent, or spend time with children in any capacity, this session will inspire ideas to embrace the outdoors as a powerful classroom for our youngest learners.

We often advocate for high quality early care and education for our youngest learners and families in early childhood programs, but what do we mean by "quality"? Do we advocates even mean the same thing when we speak with our elected officials and representatives? Digging into these questions will help us understand and align our advocacy efforts to build strength to advocate for our field. Join me to continue the dialogue!
