Making the Most of Spaces that Connect Children with Nature

Diane Gano, in an article that forms the basis for the newest Exchange Reflections (co-branded with Nature Explore), writes about how important it is to help families understand the benefits of children’s connections with nature:

"It was important to me, as an early childhood educator, that I shared research and documented children’s learning for their parents…We engaged in daily conversations about brain development and how natural materials are full of math and science foundations."

Gano provides a wealth of ideas on how to make the most of learning with nature – in a variety of ways. The Exchange Reflections is one that could support deep thinking on your own, or it can facilitate great conversations with college students or with a staff.
