Antioch University New England Graduate Certificate in Nature-Based Early Childhood Education

This graduate certificate was the first of its kind in the United States, offering nature-based early childhood classes for teachers interested in taking their classes outside. The certificate has been in existence for over 10 years. It can be taken as a stand alone program or combined with a master’s degree program.
Eliza Minnucci and Meghan Teachout planned their ”Forest Day” program as an assignment for a nature-based curriculum course at Antioch University New England’s NBEC graduate certificate. Eliza teaches the Nature-Based Early Childhood Curriculum class.
