I support using nature based pedagogies in early childhood and elementary since these are the formative years of learning in a student’s life. When we as educators introduce STEM and STEAM, using nature in primary contexts, we provide children and elementary students unlimited opportunities to explore, discover, find and engage in pure outdoor ventures. Such explorations allow students to engage in spontaneous discussions with their peers and teachers and paves the way to meaningful learning. A look at the below picture tells how children explore and learn best in nature, in contrast to traditional approaches!
