EDP-5580.SB: Working With Parents & Community

Nature preschools and forest kindergartens are special kinds of places, different from conventional early childhood programs. Parents, caretakers and community members, who may not be familiar with the mission and practices of nature-based outdoor programs, can benefit from education. Parents and other caretakers need to be prepared to provide appropriate clothes, do regular tick checks, and deal with bee stings. They may also be called on to volunteer in the school and to help with promotion and fundraising. We’ll consider how to partner with families and forge links to the wider community. Communication is central to our work: we’ll hone our skills as we participate in mock parent conferences, examine and create materials that describe programs to families, and practice working with parents who have questions or concerns. We’ll spend time outdoors on several days, so on those days (see outline of days in syllabus) please come prepared with outdoor clothing and boots adequate for walking in fields and woods. Please pack a lunch on every Saturday
