“With society seemingly moving farther away from nature, there is a stronger need for schools to focus on creating more opportunities for children to experience it. Children and nature belong together. They need no formal introduction, just time for the relationship to grow; nature introduces itself.” ~ Strengthening Relationships with the Natural World in a Reggio Emilia Inspired Preschool in Atlanta, Georgia by Susan Edwards and Gabriela Garcia, Innovations in Early Childhood, Winter 2013
We are looking forward to closing out our 2016-17 season exploring with Mavis Lewis-Webber who believes children and the adults in their lives thrive in the great outdoors. This hands on interactive outdoor ‘walkshop’ will explore the natural space at FortWhyte Alive. Mavis will share ideas on how to safely take children into natural spaces so they can develop a relationship with the natural world.
Mavis is a trained Forest School educator who mentors others in their learning journey. Mavis loves living in the Interlake and wandering the trails on her 80 acres.
