Nature Education Network The Nature Education Network is an outdoor Annual Conference in NZ www.natureeducationnetwork.co.nz

The Natural Phenomena Incorporated Society came together in 2009 with a vision of bringing an all-encompassing outdoor Nature Education Conference together for Early Childhood Educators and Teachers throughout New Zealand. We are a group of committed volunteers with a variety of skills and interests but all with the underlying passion of the natural world and educating children through nature. In 2010 we were successful in gaining Charitable Trust Status in New Zealand.

Hey everyone,

I want to be really honest about this campaign. For Make Room for Nature Kindy to work, it can’t just be a couple of people, a couple of pages, talking about the issue.

We need more voices, from more places, helping people understand why nature-based learning matters and why Aotearoa needs a clear pathway for safe, high-quality nature-based ECE.

One really practical way you can help is to create your own post, photo, reel or short video.

It could be from your programme, your whānau, your teaching, your outdoor classroom, bush kindy, forest school, nature play, or just a simple moment in nature.

The key thing is to say why this matters.

Why do tamariki need time in nature?
What do they learn when they have regular access to te taiao?
Why should Aotearoa have more options for nature-based education in the early years?

Please use:



And tag:

Little Kiwis Nature Play on Facebook
or
on Instagram

That means I can see your posts and reshare them.

Even if your own centre, bush kindy or programme or one-day nature school is not directly impacted, this is a wider kaupapa. More options for safe, high-quality nature-based ECE helps strengthen this whole space.

And most importantly, it helps tamariki.

Please help make the issue visible.

If this kaupapa matters to you, please post, tag, hashtag, and help make room for nature kindy.
