Just as more attention is being focused on the need to connect students to nature at a younger age, Project Learning Tree® releases a new curriculum guide and music CD to engage children ages 3 to 6 in outdoor exploration and play. Eleven field-tested, hands-on activities showcase over 130 "early childhood experiences" which integrate investigations of nature with art, literature, math, music, and movement. Early childhood educators and caregivers can obtain a copy of PLT's Environmental Experiences for Early Childhood curriculum by attending a PLT professional development workshop in their area.
Workshops in this new guide for early childhood educators will be scheduled soon. Interested? Contact NHPLT and we will notify you when workshops are scheduled.
