The prenatal-to-three period is a critical window for healthy development, and nature has an important role to play in supporting young children, caregivers and families during these earliest years.
What does current research tell us about this connection? Where is nature already showing up within the programs, practices and systems that support families? And what possibilities might be worth exploring more deeply?
Join the Children & Nature Network for an initial look at nature in the prenatal-to-three years, including a preview of emerging findings from an upcoming Research Digest and a broader conversation about this developing area of work. We’ll also share why C&NN is increasing its focus on early childhood and some of the questions guiding our exploration.
This webinar is the beginning of a larger conversation. Participants will learn about opportunities to join follow-up listening sessions designed to help C&NN better understand the field’s interests, experiences and needs and consider how we might contribute to advancing equitable access to nature from the earliest years of life.
Follow-up Listening Session dates:
Thurs, September 3, 2026, 1 – 2 PM CT
Wed, September 9, 2026, 11 – 12 PM CT
