This week NBCC unveiled its newly renovated outdoor classroom at Healdsburg’s Fitch Mountain preschool ribbon-cutting event. Partnering with the Healdsburg Unified School District (HUSD) enabled NBCC to create a model that represents best practices for outdoor environmental education in a preschool setting.
This newly renovated learning environment features design elements using all natural and recycled materials including a living willow hut, outdoor classroom area, fruit trees and garden beds, loose parts play, mud kitchen and sand area, and a trike track that encircles an embankment slide and climber.
Pictures of the renovation process and ribbon cutting celebration are available on our Facebook page, as well as a recent article in the Healdsburg Tribune!
