Abstract | Experiences in the natural world help children understand life cycles and seasons, make prediction and become aware of the interdependence between plants, animals, and elements like rain and sun. Early childhood is a critical time to support children's connections to the natural world because young children are naturally curious and there is so much to explore in nature. Captivating their interest and affection during early childhood nurtures positive dispositions toward nature that can last a lifetime. This is a focal point of environment-based education at the Ruth Staples Child Development Laboratory (CDL), the early childhood practicum and student teaching site for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. This article presents examples that illustrate how teachers at the Ruth Staples CDL intentionally plan a program that is based on North American Association for Environmental Education's (NAAEE's) (1999) six principles of environmental education and Ruth Wilson's (1993) guidelines to implement early childhood environmental education.
