Action for Children receives Ohio EPA Environmnetal Education Grant

Action for Children will provide professional development tools to help 25 early-childhood level teachers incorporate environmental education content and activities into student curricula. As part of the program, early childhood education expert Dr. Ruth Wilson will lead a seminar open to the public and the local early childhood education community, which is expected to draw at least another 75 parents and educators. Wilson is a previous OEEF Outstanding Project awardee for her book Fostering a Sense of Wonder During the Early Childhood Years. Collaborators include Franklin Soil and Water Conservation District; Ohio Resource Center for Mathematics, Science and Reading; Ohio Child Care Resource and Referral Agency; and the Early Childhood Quality Network at The Ohio State University.
