Nature-based Preschools - Enhancing Early Childhood Interp

10:00a Pacific/1:00p Eastern

Nature-based preschools are a cutting-edge, highly effective, and fiscally rewarding way of building children’s lifelong connection with the natural world. This webinar will provide an overview of the concept of nature-based preschools, why it’s an effective interpretive program, discussions of current programs in operation, overview of a typical day, and examples of effective seasonally-based activities.

Rachel Larimore is Director of Education at Chippewa Nature Center in Midland, Michigan and was responsible for the creation and implementation, and current supervision, of the Center’s Nature Preschool. She is also the author of the book Establishing a Nature-Based Preschool published by InterpPress. She is currently a doctoral student in the department of community sustainability at Michigan State University focusing on early childhood environmental education.
