In Person Programming

Nebraska Extension offers limited in-person classes geared towards early childhood educators working to improve their nature-based learning practices. Reach out to Katie Krause for more information on our programs.

Exploring the Beyond

On-site offerings for early childhood programs and schools working with children ages birth to 3rd grade. We provide weekly, monthly or seasonal programming for groups of children and their adult caregivers/teachers to help them explore and learn in ‘nearby nature’ areas.  Typically, this will be at a nearby park within walking distance from the center/school.

  • Birth – PreK programs align with Nebraska Early Learning Guidelines 

  • Kindergarten – 3rd Grade align with Nebraska State Content Standards for Science, Math and English Language Arts
