For millions of years, and most of human history, hunter-gatherer cultures raised their children competently, aware of their roles, and aware with their senses. Spending nearly every moment out-of-doors they were completely connected to nature through their lives and livelihoods.
TrackersNW Preschool Eating and sleeping and playing indoors, it's easy to forget that everyone else who lives outside is part of our family, too: bugs, trees, mud, flowers, birds, clouds, animals, and wind. We need the same kind of bond with them as we have with the rest of our family. They'll support us throughout our lives just as our family does. Children need much more “being outside” than a half hour at the playground or a simple walk in the woods. Real experiences are powerful. They become part of your story and become part of you.
Using all their senses, instead of looking at a book or video about bugs or trees, they are immersed in them. They make real emotional connections what is wild instead of playing with plastic or wooden toys. They know it's spring because they see buds appear and they feel the wind is warmer than yesterday's. Kids need to feel they are part of the world, not just in it.
In our Nature Folklore Immersion model we use imagination, play, riddles and adventure to create real world experiences for children in a safe and supportive atmosphere. Our days encourage true learning by involving all five of senses while making their daily experience part of an epic story.
