Episode 5-The Benefits of Outdoor Pre-school with guest Jennifer Pulley

Many of us may recall our 70’s/80’s childhood summers: biking through the streets, catching fireflies, staying out til dark, playing imaginary games, roaming the fields or woods near our homes - and our parents trusting we would be home eventually to eat and sleep. Being outside was a given. How is the move to a world indoors affecting our children’s development today? Listen in as Andrew welcomes Jennifer Pulley, owner and teacher of Off We Go Nature Preschool based in Salt Lake City, Utah. Jen and Andrew discuss how “play” is serious for kids and how it allows for creativity, social-emotional development, problem-solving, and more to thrive in the minds of our children.
