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.
Learning Beyond the Walls
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 or on school grounds.
Nature Explorers Omaha
At Nature Explorers, children are seen as capable, curious learners who help shape their own adventures.
Parents learn alongside them, discovering new ways to support child-led play through observation, participation, and reflection. This shared experience deepens family bonds and builds understanding of how children grow through exploration.
Together, families enjoy unhurried time outdoors exploring, creating, taking risks, and reflecting in natural spaces. Our approach values independence, collaboration, and the joy of discovery through play.
Fall session full. Winter session coming soon!
