When Learning Comes Naturally to Debut Friday, Sept. 25

A new documentary, When Learning Comes Naturally, profiles the efforts of four schools and a community environmental education center to introduce children to the natural world and to encourage them – through play, classroom activities, exploration and their own creative work – to make a lasting connection with nature.

This fourth program in The Learning Child Series has been produced for PBS (public television) to support both parents and educators in engaging children to become motivated and lifelong learners.  This 28-minute film offers an opening into conversations about the importance of nature, developmentally appropriate education, play, connections between home and school, sustainable practices and values education.  You can learn more about the show at The Learning Child Series.
