EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

The Foundation is committed to building a generation of healthy and engaged citizens equipped with the knowledge and creativity to address major social and ecological challenges. To achieve this, we promote developmentally appropriate, high-quality early childhood education grounded in place and focused on science, play, and experiential learning.

The Foundation supports projects that demonstrate some or all of the following strategies:

  • Building the movement for outdoor learning and facilitating the sharing of best practices

  • Advocating for regulatory and licensure language that supports quality learning

  • Supporting educator development
