Outdoor learning & school readiness

The preschool years are often focused on academic skills, such as learning letters and numbers, and generally indoors. Yet, those skills can be taught just as effectively outside. In this video, Dr. Rachel A. Larimore discusses ways that outdoor learning supports children’s development and school readiness. Outdoor play provides opportunities for curiosity & wonder, physical play, and social & emotional development—it really does it ALL!

 

This video was part of a monthly Facebook Live series hosted by Kaplan Early Learning in Summer 2021.
