What is nature’s pedagogy?
Nature's Classroom

Nature’s classroom is an approach in nature’s pedagogy which promotes cross-disciplinary teaching in natural environments starting from pre-school first years, and which encourages girls and boys in early childhood to discover the world through senses, enhance creative thinking and know themselves better to develop all of their potential through exploring and playing.

In CIEDI our international school, we know that learning in contact with nature is crucial for the development of beings capable of observing beyond their immediate context, and capable of understanding and getting around today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.

We make the educational experiences go beyond the classroom, finding a variety of learning environments within nature.

Our CIEDI school speaks about nature’s pedagogy for a Change, and its benefits towards holistic education in early childhood.
