From UW College of Education website:
The Early Childhood Outdoor Classroom (ECO Classroom) is a scalable project, designed for culturally and economically diverse pre-school children. The curriculum introduces and connects the students and their families to nature, the environment, and arts, and to instill compassion for the environment.
The idea was to help the teachers think about using outdoor spaces differently. One purpose was to provide a strong foundation of environmental education. And another was to get the kids outdoors.
