Program Description:

Role models like parents, grandparents, and teachers have the ability to engage young children in nature long term, instilling a love for learning in the outdoors. During this special program for Kindergarten students, Nature Center staff will teach family volunteers to run simple stations in the Nature PlayScape on sun, shadows, wind, birds, plants,
insects, temperature and more using simple tools and activities. Enthusiastic parents can help children feel comfortable in nature and enjoy real-life experience on topics covered in their classrooms. Following the station-based session, children continue exploring and playing in the PlayScape with parent and teacher chaperones.
