The natural world’s learning potential has been at the centre of Montessori practise since the beginning.

Montessori believed in the value of a natural learning environment so much that she urged for children to have unrestricted access to it. There would be no distinction between the indoor and outdoor classrooms in her ideal world.

The outdoor environment, according to Montessori, is a natural extension of the classroom. Children can expand on their classroom knowledge through sensorial experiences of nature and frequent contact with the seasons and the natural world.

The following are some of the most significant benefits of incorporating outdoor learning into your curriculum or daily life:

• Nature encourages children’s interest and inquiry while also providing rich sensory experiences!
• Children’s physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development are all improved by spending time in nature.
• Early connections with nature help children grow up to be more environmentally conscious, and this perspective continues throughout adulthood.
• Learning outside encourages problem-solving and creativity.
• Being in nature reduces worried energy and improves focus – it’s a great stress reliever!
