Forest Families - Nature & Child Development Class

  • Umstead State Park (Harrison Ave entrance) 2100 North Harrison Avenue Cary, NC, 27513 United States (map)

Come spend two hours outdoors with your baby, toddler, or preschooler while learning how you can use nature to support your child’s development. The morning will include some guided thought work, casual discussions, and plenty of time to implement the ideas and concepts into your nature exploration with your little one. You and your child will be invited to join in campfire building, nature story reading, and nature art creations. This is also a time to build your outdoor-parenting community by connecting with fellow families interested in spending more time in nature.

December class focus:
Risky play, safety - learn and discuss how risky play is beneficial to young children, how to assess risk for your family/child, and safety planning for being outdoors with young children.
