Preschool Beyond Walls: Blending Early Childhood Education and Nature-Based Learning
Written by Rachel A. Larimore
Children are spending less time being outside in nature, playing, imagining, and learning about their surroundings. Instead, they’re spending more time with tablets, televisions, and overly structured routines. Preschool Beyond Walls shows practical and strategic ways educators can create rich, explorative, and interdisciplinary learning through extensive outdoor experiences.
This book was designed to help early childhood educators develop and implement a nature-based curriculum to support children’s holistic development. Whether you’re refining your nature-based teaching or transitioning to nature-based pedagogy from a more conventional approach, with this book you’ll learn how to:
Identify the key features of nature-based pedagogy
Create a program philosophy
Infuse nature into all aspects of your program
Support teachers to implement a nature- and child-centered approach
Provide a rich physical learning environment across three spaces–Inside, Outside, and Beyond.
Set families up for success
