Special Events in ECHO - Supporting early childhood education in the great outdoors!
|
Early childhood has great opportunities to support early learning through hands on interactive environments outside! Yes, children can learn in all environments inside and outside enjoying their natural surroundings!
Early Childhood Health Outdoors (ECHO) is pulling together some amazing trainings to help you understand how to create an outdoor environment that supports ongoing learning outside the classroom.
Note: Child care centers and home providers that are enrolled in the Colorado Shines program are eligible to use their Colorado Shines award on some of these new outdoor experiences!
