At Kids Hub we believe that the Outdoor Learning Environments are just as important as the Indoor.
Organised Outdoor Learning Environments require planning and consideration of the setup and storage, as well as a flexible and responsive approach each day and a willingness to be spontaneous. Striking a balance between planning and moving away from the plan is essential if everyone is to make the most of learning possibilities outdoors.
In 2013 Angie and Kate attended the Bold Park Conference which had Tim Gill (www.rethinkingchildhood.com) and Adam Bienenstockn (www.naturalplaygrounds.ca/) presenting, both respected advocates for the benefits of Nature Play.
Kids Hub can visit your service whether it is new or well established and provide feedback and areas of suggested improvement to help you have your Outdoor Environment meet the needs of your children attending.
“There are increasing concerns about the disconnection between children and nature. There are also concerns about risk-averse approaches to play, sedentary technology experiences and lack of time for unstructured outdoor play and their likely negative consequences for children’s long-term health and wellbeing.”
