Children Are Born To Be Outside and Wild – Not Stuck Inside and Mild.

-Amy Sussna Klein

 

This week, Oct. 16-22nd, is TAKE IT OUTSIDE WEEK sponsored by Head Start Body Start.  Time spent outdoors is an integral part of young children’s lives, and the basis for everything we do here at The Adventurous Child.  For over 25 years, The Adventurous Child has designed and built outdoor learning environments and playground products that engage children and promote developmental milestones through evidence based principles of play.

We support Head Start Body Start’s mission. We encourage educators, families and caregivers to make time outdoors an important part of young children’s daily lives. In the comments, share with us what you plan to do to celebrate learning on your preschool playground.

We strive to create fun and informative content that will help young children learn and grow. However, it's important to keep in mind that all activities should be performed under the supervision of an adult. The Adventurous Child website is intended to serve as a reference and guidance for educational activities, and it is ultimately the responsibility of the parent, guardian, and/or educator to determine the appropriateness of the activity for their child’s age and maturity level. Thank you for your understanding and support!
