Many of us who work in early childhood education understand that spending time outdoors is important for children. Growing up, I spent time camping with my family almost every weekend. As I got older, I experienced a sense of peace when I was in nature. However, my time outdoors has steadily decreased over the years.

What about the weather? It seems easy to go outside on warm and sunny days but what about rainy, snowy, or windy days? Not so much!

I had a vision for my first year of teaching Early Childhood Education students at Saskatchewan Polytechnic.
