Early childhood professionals constantly reflect upon how to improve the quality of educational experiences for young children. They are often encouraged to create centers that support the development of language, literacy and mathematical concepts inside the classroom, but they often forget that there is an untapped world of learning just outside the classroom door.

These programs encouraged the faculty to be purposeful with their approach to learning by addressing the outdoor environment. They turned their early childhood world "inside out" by creating outdoor learning environments that tapped into the natural curiosity of all young learners.
