FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

All About Kids Family Child Care Receives

National Recognition as a Certified Nature Explore Classroom

Lincoln, Neb. (October 29, 2019)— All About Kids Family Child Care located in

Spanish Fork, Utah has earned national recognition as a Certified Nature Explore

Classroom from the Nature Explore program, which is a division of nonprofit

Dimensions Educational Research Foundation.

This certification confers on All About Kids Family Child Care a number of benefits,

including membership in an ever-expanding network of more than 490 like-minded

spaces nationwide. Certified Nature Explore Classrooms foster highly effective,

nature-based outdoor learning.

“Owner, Lori Taylor’s commitment to providing research-based and nature-rich

learning offers a wonderful example to programs and educators throughout the

country.” said Heather Fox, director of communications and outreach for the Nature

Explore program. “These spaces inspire hands-on activity, creativity, play and

plenty of time exploring the natural world for children of all ages.”

These unique outdoor classrooms offer interactive, open-ended materials and

elements that allow them to use their creativity, imaginations and initiative.

Research consistently shows that children who learn and grow in Nature Explore

Classrooms exhibit enhanced concentration, develop creativity and problem solving

techniques, manage stress in healthy ways and develop skills across the spectrum of

academic and creative learning.

Nature Explore Classrooms have been developed by a team of master educators, landscape architects and researchers in response to the documented growing disconnect between children and nature. The classrooms help fill this void by integrating research-based outdoor learning opportunities into children’s daily lives. Classrooms that are designed according to standards and principles described in Dimensions Educational Research Foundation’s Learning With Nature Idea Book are eligible to become Certified Nature Explore Classrooms. More information about All About Kids Family Child Care may be found at https://certified.natureexplore.org/all-about-kids-family-child-care/

About Dimensions Educational Research Foundation: The mission of the Dimensions Educational Research Foundation is to transform children's lives through meaningful daily connections with nature. Its Nature Explore team provides research-based outdoor classroom design services, educator workshops and natural products.
