Thanks so much for sharing this, Sheila! In these times more than ever, connections with nature are essential. I would like to add an older resource with so many great ideas, from the March 2003 issue of Child Care Information Exchange, a Beginner's Workshop series on Outdoor Environments.My own article, "Outdoor Magic for Family Child Care Providers" is a part of that series, and if you are reading this and work with family child care programs I am happy to share some of those ideas with you as well.
With very best hopes for the steps we can all take to connect our programs with nature,
