“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”
Kid Tip: Give me opportunities to spend long periods of time examining and exploring nature. Watch the ants crawling across the sidewalk with me or give me time to play in the grass and examine what I find.

As children observe and explore nature, their brains naturally begin to make connections and create categories. Nature provides countless opportunities for learning early math and science concepts.
