Outside All Day: A Complete Day of Nature-Based Learning Experiences
Transform Your Outdoor Program with 6 Ready-to-Use Session Plans
For Australian Early Childhood Educators & Services
The Challenge Every Educator Faces
Australian early childhood educators are struggling to provide meaningful outdoor experiences while managing:
- Heat restrictions limiting outdoor time during summer months
- Pressure to prioritize indoor "academic" activities
- Lack of confidence in facilitating nature-based learning
- Complex documentation requirements for outdoor programs
- Limited resources for outdoor learning materials and setup
Research shows children aged 3-12 receive only 60-165 minutes of outdoor play daily, yet the WHO recommends at least 3 hours of physical activity for optimal development.
