Preschools latest to take on green movement
There are currently about 80 nature-based preschools nationwide, up from 19 in 2009, said Christy Merrick, director of the Natural Start Alliance, which is part of the North American Association for Environmental Education. But she noted that numerous other preschools employ some sort of eco-friendly approach.
She said the schools range from taking simple steps to basing their entire curriculum around nature and having students spend time every day in natural settings.
