Exploring Nature with Young Children - 32441
"Growing Up Wild: Exploring Nature with Young Children" is an early childhood education program that builds on children's sense of wonder about nature and invites them to explore wildlife and the world around them. Through a wide range of activities and experiences, it provides an early foundation for developing positive impressions about the natural world and lifelong social and academic skills.
