Thought-provoking and insightful, this teacher's guide to outdoor time isn't full of pictures or lesson plans. Instead, it explains the philosophy behind outdoor learning and gives practical guidelines for improving outdoor learning. (Miller Library Staff)
Nature and Young Children promotes the holistic development of children by connecting them with nature. It offers practical advice on how to set up indoor and outdoor nature play spaces as well as encouraging environmentally responsible attitudes, values and behaviour in your early childhood setting.
