Out Door Classroom

The Outdoor Classroom Project' newest initiative in collaboration with our partner Nature Explore is a reoccurring Leadership Institute held in multiple locations for early childhood educators, play yard designers and environmental activists to create transformational change nation-wide.

Now in its eighth year, the Outdoor Classroom Project continues to expand its work as interest in the benefits of outdoor experience for young children continues to grow. As of November 30, 2008, the five years of funding for the Outdoor Classroom Project in Los Angeles County by First 5 LA came to an end. The CEC is most grateful for First 5 LA's support, which enabled this initiative to reach over 630 child care centers and over 3,000 early childhood educators in Los Angeles County. Outside the County, an additional 3,900 centers and 10,100 early childhood educators have been reached by the Project throughout California and beyond.

Moving forward, the Project is active on three fronts:

1. The Project continues in Los Angeles County through the Outdoor Classroom Demonstration Site Network.


2. Consulting, training, and speaking services are available for a fee through the Project.


3. Since January, 2009, the Project has been conducting a county-wide initiative in Santa Barbara County funded by the Orfalea Fund. For information on that initiative, please visit the Orfalea Foundations' website.

WHy Education?

The Education is the most important factor for human sake.Because of education the human is on top in all.For our better growth for our country growth we need educated and managed people. National strategies for addressing climate change can only succeed with the full engagement of the general public and important interest groups, or stakeholders such as businesses and local policymakers. Since governments are directly responsible for only a small proportion of greenhouse gas emissions,they must persuade businesses, communities and individuals to adjust their activities in a way that reduces their direct emissions. Otherwise, it will not be possible to realize the Convention’s objective and the Protocol’s targets. Governments have several tools at their disposal for gaining public support.
