University Children’s Learning Center
Preschool Outdoor Classroom
Welcome, Children at UCLC use nature as a vibrant playground for exploration and discovery, engaging their senses and sparking curiosity. They interact with the environment through play—climbing trees, building forts, and collecting leaves—while observing wildlife and plant life that piques their interest. Nature provides a canvas for imaginative storytelling and creativity, as children use natural materials for crafts and art projects. Through activities like gardening, bug hunting, and nature walks, they learn about ecosystems, develop critical thinking skills, and foster a sense of responsibility towards the environment. This hands-on experience not only enhances their understanding of the natural world but also promotes physical activity, social interaction, and emotional well-being.
