Young children are naturally curious and creative thinkers. They have a sense of wonder and awe about the world around them and are eager to explore. Early childhood education represents the beginning of formal education and provides an opportunity for children to develop a solid foundation of skills and attitudes upon which all subsequent learning
will build. As educators, we can guide children’s explorations through experiences set in nature, with child-led, unstructured play that will provide them with the skills they need for success in school and life.
