Instead, they're spending more time with tablets, televisions, and overly structured routines.

• Create a program philosophy
• Infuse nature into all aspects of your program
• Prepare teachers for a nature-centered approach
• Implement curriculum and pedagogy that emphasize inquiry-based learning through play and hands-on discovery
• Maintain high-quality early childhood practices that support children's development
