About Backyard Mama

Backyard Mama's mission is for every child to spend time outside every day.

The intention of this blog is to offer inspiration to do that. Take this tips and tools and use them, or contact me and I can run a program at your center.

Our programs take many forms:
* classes in your school or childcare center
* classes for camps or nature centers
* professional development through conferences and workshops
* professional development designed for your staff
* community workshops at libraries and agencies

We're always excited to design something special just for you!

Nature Programs

Nature is every where and for everyone. Our goal is to facilitate a deeply meaningful and enriching bond with the natural world and human beings. Our motivation comes from a belief that through this connection human beings lives improve.

Children have an innate connection to nature, especially to the healing benefits of creative outdoor play. In this workshop, we will explore background research and tools for integrating experiential, nature-based learning into early childhood and school age classrooms. Integrating nature and outdoor experiences into the learning process has many benefits for both the teacher and the student. No teacher or student needs to be left inside, this workshop will explore ways to integrate outside time into your daily classroom activities and learning process.

We design our programs to fit your needs.
