With a full curriculum and a busy schedule to get through each day, it’s not always easy to find enough time or space to dedicate part of our students learning time to nature and the environment. But opportunities to bring nature to our students can be found in all sorts of places and in so many different ways.  

My name is Louise Knight, and I am an early childhood educator in a bilingual school in the French Alps. I’d like to share a little of the work we do at our school in creatively finding ways to motivate, involve, inspire, and engage young learners to understand and care about their environments, helping them to take part and feel part of the green spaces around them.
