Nature Preschool loves Earth Day

By Shannon Dryden, Nature Preschool Manager and Sweet Gum Classroom Lead Teacher

At Nature Preschool, our children are immersed in outdoor experiences daily, connecting them to their surroundings and the Schuylkill Center in a meaningful way. At events like Naturepalooza, the children show their expanding knowledge and the bonds created through open-ended exploration. Learning through play and touching, feeling, smelling, tasting, and hearing is what these children do best and it brings joy and happiness in many ways. Just look at the smiles! Below, some highlights from Earth Day and Naturepalooza with our preschool.
