EDC-5030.SB: Natural History for Early Childhood

The best nature-based early childhood teachers are knowledgeable about early childhood and local natural history. This course will focus on the natural history of the Central California Coast that most directly relates to being outdoors with children. Participants will learn about the flora, fauna and natural phenomena that intrigue young children. We’ll also consider how tracking, gathering wild edibles, crafting and telling stories can encourage exploration. We’ll discuss winter and spring natural history with a focus on keeping children engaged under hot and/or wet conditions.
