ECFS 499: Immigrant Young Children and Nature: Interdisciplinary Perspectives
1-2 credits
Tuesdays, 4:30-5:50
How can direct interaction with the natural world promote health, learning and development in early childhood?

How do young children access nature-rich play and learning environments? Who has access, and who doesn't?
 
What can be done to make nature-rich learning environments more accessible and inclusive?
 
If these issues interest you, join us for ECFS 499! Courses will be offered Winter and Spring 2018 and can be taken singly or as a series. The Winter session will bring together guest speakers from multiple disciplinary perspectives to explore the relevance of nature-based early learning experiences for children from immigrant families. The Spring session will follow this with an introduction to core elements of nature-based early learning in practice.
