Abstract

The presentation for this Showcase Reel is a 3 minute video to share my PhD research. The findings of the study will be valuable to early childhood education and care practitioners in developing a greater understanding of current practice – and children’s experiences of these practices to address the question of How children perceive and experience natural environments as places for/of care, learning and development?
Capturing and valuing the voices views and experiences of kindergarten children is an important step in to supporting excellent progress for every student.
