Falls Church-McLean Children’s Center is proud to be the first preschool in the nation to participate in “Forest Days” in collaboration with the Association of Nature-Based Education https://anbe.org/ (Formerly Eastern Region Association of Forest and Nature Schools). This partnership began in the fall of 2022. The outdoor curriculum experience takes place in the park behind the school. It enables students’ active physical, social, emotional, and academic skill development as well as environmental literacy, stewardship, and play-based connections with nature in every season. The Center is committed to engaging students in environmental and sustainability education and has received significant community support for this innovative program.
