A deeper understanding of nature helps children see that they are part of a larger world.
Nature-Based Learning
Children today spend less time outside exploring and discovering in nature and more time indoors in front of screens. Allowing children to play outside, manipulate natural materials, and discover the living world builds self-esteem and encourages critical thinking and creative inquiry. By taking children out into the natural world and bringing nature back into the classroom, children gain a better appreciation for the world around them and recognize and value their place in it
Children at UPC Discovery enjoy a large outdoor nature explore classroom with plenty of green space and explore the church grounds with their teachers. The grounds of United Presbyterian Church are an official National Wildlife Habitat that is home to many distinctive species of flowers and trees. Children can even see families of geese and ducks roost in the spring and may see the occasional deer or wild turkey
