If you're going to build a new center, remodel one or just want a more natural environment for young children, make plans now to attend the June 12-13, 2008 Institute on Creating Sustainable Environments for Young Children. There you'll meet other colleagues and designers concerned about children's health, toy safety and more naturalized spaces indoors and outdoors.
Last year 40 participants from all across the United States met at the Lied Lodge, a sustainable conference center in Nebraska, to hear from early childhood practitioners and designers about how to create healthier environments for both children and Mother Earth. You can find out more about the Institute and register at our website.
