Episode 5: Taking play and learning outdoors in the early years
Description
This episode explores outdoor play and young children's connections with nature.
Froebel was a pioneering educator who invented kindergarten. The word kindergarten actually means 'garden for children'. Froebel's vision was for a garden which offered space for young children's play and exploration, with educators making time for children to be in contact with nature.
How can schools and early years settings support outdoor play for young children now? And, what if your setting is in the middle of the city or has very limited access to outdoor space?
