The Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and Iowa State University Extension and Outreach are launching an online training for the national award-winning Growing Up WILD activity guide.
This online training provides exciting hands-on activities and resources to help lead children (ages three to seven) out the door to explore nature. Activities use age-appropriate practices and concepts to build and nurture a child’s sense of wonder about nature, wildlife and the great outdoors. Early learning activities focus on: math, science, language, literacy, health living, play and creativity.
Participants are required to complete online pre-workshop activities and attend the online training May 19, from 6-9 pm. Cost includes the Growing Up WILD activity guide. Participants receive four (clock) hours credit for childcare license renewal approved by Iowa Department of Human Services.
