with Nejra Alispahic, a Forest School Certified Educator, hosted by Dana Alqinneh, M.Ed., Head of Pedagogy at Parent App.

Here's what we'll explore together:

• • Breaking the Myths: Discover how outdoor play isn't "just playing" but rich, multi-layered learning, and learn how to advocate for outdoor play.
• • The Invisible Curriculum: Learn to recognize and document the deep learning happening when children draw chalk roads, build with sticks, or negotiate playground rules.
• • From Supervisor to Co-Explorer: Transform your role outdoors by shifting from directing to wondering alongside children, using simple phrases that spark inquiry and discovery.
• • Growing with Children: Understand how outdoor learning evolves from toddlers exploring textures to older children conducting weather experiments and creating nature-based art.
