“The most rewarding part about serving in the Nature Preschool has been reading books and singing songs to the kids that had a big impact on me as a child.” says Ariam![]()

Ariam is the WisCorps service member assisting us this year! She has been helping the Educators in the nature preschool as well as across our organization by leading field trips, assisting with programming, and overseeing aftercare. She’s spent a lot of time with the kids, reading to them, doing crafts, and engaging with them in nature. ![]()

“I think children being comfortable in nature is so crucial to how they view the outdoors for the rest of their lives. Especially living in a city, a lot of people grow up thinking that nature is a nuisance or something to observe. This can build up fear or reluctance to fully engage with nature. Playing is one of the most important things to children, besides their families, and having play time outdoors builds a positive association early on. Playing in the outdoors also challenges kids to move their bodies and problem solve in ways they can’t do in a normal classroom.” ![]()
