Let's Learn Together Outside launches this summer in
Let's Learn Together Outside is a four-week, research-based family engagement program designed to take place in natural environments. LLTO supports families with strategies and activities focused on the importance of nature-based play and early literacy skills for children ages 3 to 5. NCFL supports implementation by providing local organizations with the training, program curricula and coaching to facilitate the program.
Let's Learn Together Outside programming launched this summer in three cities:
Outdoor learning and play聽 to have a variety of positive outcomes for children, including improved problem-solving skills, enhanced memory retention and better social skills. In addition, children who spend regular time outdoors demonstrate lower rates of obesity, improved motor skills and better physical coordination. By combining outdoor learning with early literacy, LLTO harnesses these benefits while also providing parenting adults with the resources they need to ensure their children are kindergarten-ready.聽
"Since the start of PNC Grow Up Great over 20 years ago, we've counted NCFL as one of our earliest collaborators in building brilliant futures for our youngest learners," said Sally McCrady, chair and president, PNC Foundation. "We're excited to see Let's Learn Together Outside engage children and their families together in the wonder of outdoor learning, fostering deeper connections to nature and one another."
"NCFL's commitment to early learning extends beyond our work in collaboration with schools and early childcare settings," said Felicia Cumings Smith, NCFL president and CEO. "We also believe that young children should have access to early literacy and learning opportunities that enable outdoor exploration.
"Through programs like Let's Learn Together Outside, NCFL and PNC Grow Up Great are providing families with the tools to explore multigenerational learning at the park, in the backyard or on the playground. When parenting adults and children learn together, the whole family benefits."
