In this podcast episode, we explore the concepts of nature pedagogy and adventurous play with Chloe Keegan, Early Childhood Specialist. According to Chloe, nature pedagogy focuses on learning through nature, highlighting the essential bond between humans and the natural world. It encourages children to explore and value their environment, fostering holistic development and environmental consciousness. Additionally, she discusses how the pedagogy of risky or adventurous play promotes children’s problem-solving abilities, self-assurance, and independence.
