Environmental Learning Center gets $3975 from Sunrise Rotary Vero Beach for their ” Little Wonders” program which starts 4/28 for toddlers to 4 years of age.
“Studies show that outdoor exposure benefits humans in so many ways, yet we do not spend nearly enough time outside. This is especially true for toddlers who desperately need meaningful opportunities to participate in nature play and exploration. Outdoor education and nature play have been linked to increases in problem-solving, creativity, and social skills, all of which are keystones to student success in primary school and beyond.” see more information at https://www.discoverelc.org/post/toddler-nature-classes-in-vero-beach
