Come discover how joyful moments in nature help children form deep, lasting connections with the Earth. In this workshop, you’ll see how the CCC draws inspiration from the natural world—across all ages, from our curious infants to our adventurous preschoolers. Through outdoor play, exploration, and wonder, we’ll highlight how nature supports children’s growth, well-being, and their emerging sense of responsibility for the planet we share.

Growth: How Things Change Over Time

Change is a natural and essential part of life—but how do children come to understand it? In this workshop, we’ll explore how a group of 2-3 year olds came to understand growth and change over the course of a year. From seasons shifting to personal milestones to plant and animal life cycles, you'll see how meaningful experiences and observations helped them make sense of the world around them.

This workshop explores how a group of children discovered the science behind cooking. Through hands-on experiences—mixing, boiling, freezing, and more—they observed how ingredients
change when heat and time is involved. From apples to applesauce, we’ll share how the classroom became a kitchen using a garden to table approach.
