Overview

In this Play, Learn and Teach Outdoors in the Early Years programme from Algonquin College , you explore concepts of active engagement, nurturing holistic development, and building meaningful connections in outdoor pedagogical practice.

As you examine the pivotal roles of risky outdoor play in children's learning and well-being, you develop a strength-based lens in support of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. Guided by the recommendations of the Canadian Pediatric Society, you engage with evidence-based knowledge, foster cultural competency, and hone pragmatic skills. You integrate perspectives from place-based learning experiences, cultivating advocacy and practical communication skills.

You apply theory to practice in a culminating action-research project enhancing outdoor play experiences for children and families, in your own professional context.

Careers

Graduates may apply this specialized practice to their existing roles as Early Childhood Educators, kindergarten teachers, child and youth care practitioners, or social service workers.
