Everything in nature invites us constantly to be what we are.
– Gretel Ehrlich

Today’s EED begins with a message from the Nature Explore Program:

“Join us in celebrating Nature for Children Week, beginning today! As a community of nature champions, you play a vital role in launching the Nature for Children Every Day initiative. Together, we’re dedicating this week to inspiring communities and helping young children build meaningful, lasting connections with the natural world. We can’t wait to see how your program celebrates. Be sure to tag us @natureexplore and use #natureforchildreneveryday on your favorite social platforms!”

In the Exchange Reflections, “Nurturing Learning With Nature,” Martina B. Albright provides support for discussing ideas about incorporating more nature into programs to nurture empathy, creativity, physical skills, emotional regulation, curiosity, collaboration, and a lifelong love of learning.
