I am very interested in nature inspired space and learning. I finally got the last plastic thing out of my outdoor play area! Now my goal is to finish the requirements to certify my space as a Nature Explore Classroom!

I also have a dream of changing out plastic tubs with wicker baskets and adding lots more wood inside rather than plastic. I am well on my way, but sill have more to do.
I am also interested in the Lifeways approach to childcare. But is is SOO different from what I am used to and traditional preschool stuff that parents want that I am having a hard time making that leap.
