Let's get
outside
traditional preschool
We’re a non-profit on a mission to make nature-based preschool learning accessible and inclusive for every kid.
Accessible education tools
Nature-based learning
Connected communities
Toddlers
are going through enormous
changes in their bodies and brains.
They need connection now more than ever.
Kids from 2-5 want to explore and understand the world within and around them.
Demands and pressures on families and caretakers are overwhelming.
Let's take a deep breath together.
We can make them feel safe, loved, and excited about learning.
Time spent outside and a connection to nature are proven to help them thrive.
We can do more with less.
We're The Empathy in Nature Project
We are parents, caretakers and educators committed to helping young kids thrive.
Education needs to be more equitable and accessible. That’s why we are creating books, tools, and spaces that can meet the child where they are.
At home, in daycares, and in schools.
We’re creating simple learning tools that help children understand themselves through connection to nature.
Based on evidence, grounded in nature
With the help of our community, we aim to create outdoor preschools that are accessible for lower income children.
These will also serve as important community hubs in under-resourced areas without access to green spaces.
Research shows connection to
nature
is instrumental to supporting healthy childhood development
Simple for the
busy parent
Practical, easy activities any parent can implement in as little as 5 minutes a day.
Connection to nature
increases empathy
Empathy is the foundation for thriving
children and communities.
Nurturing a child's sense of wonder
Playing independently outdoors inspires inquiry and enhances social-emotional skills, preparing them for lifelong learning.
With the help of our
community
we
will make nature-based learning
more accessible.
The earlier a dollar is invested in a child’s life, the higher return it has later.
Here's our plan to
transform
early childhood education
Phase 1:
Kids
Foster a love of learning
Easy and engaging stories and activities to use anywhere, any time that teach important Social-Emotional concepts while connecting to the natural world.
Caretakers
Creating Spaces
Outdoor educational spaces in areas with proven lack of daycare options and green spaces.
Communities
Healthy Communities
These preschools will serve as much needed educational parks for under-resourced communities with a complete lack of green spaces
How you can join the cause
When we get outside the walls we have built, we reconnect with ourselves and each other.
