Children use their observation and math skills as they compare the circumferences of tree trunks and see the diversity in nature.
Research Suggests Profound Benefits for Children
At the core of Nature Explore Club is outdoor classroom research. Since 1998, Dimensions Educational Research Foundation has designed natural spaces, materials and activities. After observing and qualitatively measuring the resulting benefits from those spaces, they have developed convincing evidence from their ongoing research that positive, age-appropriate experiences with nature bring significant benefits to children, such as:
Better powers of observation and creativity
Improved ability to concentrate among all children, even those with attention deficit disorder
More advanced motor skills such as coordination, balance, and agility
The development of imagination and sense of wonder—motivating factors for life-long learning
Finally, there is a solution.
While the concerns are well known, and the benefits of nature are coming to light, Nature Explore Club is at the very forefront of offering a real, research-based solution.
Providing young children the textures, smells, beauty, and wonder of nature—as they develop life-long learning skills—with Nature Explore Club for the Classroom.
