​“Growing Green Curriculum started with a passion for play, a love for the Earth, and a vision of what early childhood education could be.”

We’ve spent years in classrooms, gardens, forest trails, and messy art corners — designing experiences that nurture whole children, not just checkboxes.

Our team is made up of educators, parents, and curriculum creators who believe that early childhood is the most powerful time to plant seeds of empathy, creativity, and sustainability.


“From seed to story, everything we do is rooted in care.”

Nature Nutures Us 

GROWING CALM MINDS + BODIES THROUGH OUTDOOR CONNECTION 

Spending time outdoors reduces stress, eases anxiety, and boosts mood—helping children build resilience and healthy coping skills. Through immersive, sensory-rich experiences, the natural world offers freedom, focus, and a calming sense of peace that supports emotional growth and inner balance.

The outdoor environment.......................................

The Intentional Moments Series is part of the Growing Green Curriculum’s inquiry guide collection, thoughtfully designed for teachers and caregivers of young children. These guides encourage educators to embrace everyday, naturally occurring moments and transform them into meaningful, sustainable interactions that nurture curiosity, care for the Earth, and connection to the environment. Each guide supports learning that values reuse, nature-based exploration, and mindful engagement with materials. Available in both digital and printable formats to support eco-conscious practices.

The Best Classroom has no Walls

What is Sustainablity?  

The concept of sustainability, rooted in the idea that our survival depends on the natural environment, gained prominence with the 1987 UN report defining sustainable development as meeting current needs without compromising future generations. In early childhood education, this translates to helping teachers, children, and families learn to coexist with nature in ways that support both present and future well-being.

This involves focusing on:

Health + Wellness

Children's Development 

Overcoming Barriers

Emphasizing the physical and mental benefits of spending time in nature, understanding healthy eating, and knowing where food comes from.

Utilizing the environment as a “third teacher” to foster language, literacy, and critical thinking, while addressing barriers like family perceptions of outdoor play and maintenance of outdoor spaces.

Addressing concerns about safety, cleanliness, and resources for outdoor play, and finding ways to integrate nature into learning to support both gross motor skills and investigative learning/serve and return interactions.

Kindergarten is too late.
​Environmental education shouldn't wait until 3rd grade.
