Hello Frances,
I am a founding member of a parent group that started a nature based preschool coop program. Forest Kindergarten was very inspirational in our vision and concept. Now as a student in the field of education I am seeking more training in this area to further help develop this area of our program. Could you please send me more information about your upcoming information seminars? I would like to register if space is still available.
Thanks!!
Francine
Hello Francine,

Hello Francine,
I iniciated several environmental programs for kids and recently started working at a day care. I would love to hear more about your nature based preschool coop and what you do. I attended the Royal Roads workshop day about the Forest kindergarden. It was great and I realized that sharing ideas and “what works and what did not work” would be great with people who are involved with a Pre school aged kids.
How can I connect to you?
