Please join us at our next Preschool Collaborative on November 1st from 6-7:30. Dee Dee Thurber, Program Manager of Child Care Aware of New Hampshire, joins us to talk about nature-based play.

Through nature-based play, children are grounded, curious, and imaginative.

Each of their five senses becomes engaged when they are out playing in nature.

What does a day outside look like from a child’s point of view, and can you offer more nature play to the children in your care? 

This TA Tip was graciously shared by Kris Tabor-Hall, Training and Technical Assistance Specialist.

Child Care Aware of NH is here to assist you! To learn more about how we can support your Preschool Practices, please refer to our Services and Supports Guide.

Nature Play Spaces



Check out this article by the National Wildlife Foundation. They have put together the importance of nature-based play, how to include nature-based play space “equipment,” and ideas for parents to use at home.

November is Family Engagement Month here at SNHS, Child Care Aware of NH! We will be collaborating with Vroom all month long to bring you resources to share with your families.

Stay tuned for more information!
