PLT for Early Childhood Educators

---

Just as more attention is being focused on the need to connect students to nature at a younger age, Project Learning Tree has released a new curriculum guide and music CD to engage children ages 3 to 6 in outdoor exploration and play.
 
Environmental Experiences for Early Childhood
Exploring nature is a complete sensory experience, and early experiences with the natural world excite children’s imaginations and foster their inborn sense of wonder and curiosity—important motivators for lifelong learning. Increasing environmental literacy is a proven way to encourage scientific inquiry, and PLT’s Environmental Experiences for Early Childhood provides an introduction to environmental education at a key developmental period in children’s lives.
 
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.
