Free Spirit Children's Nature Center, Sylvia Eugenia Arce Jan 2004

Free Spirit Children's Nature Center, Sylvia Eugenia Arce

Theses Digitization Project

The purpose of this thesis is to provide a blueprint for the creation of the Free Spirit Children's Nature Center. The center has in mind the preservation of a habitat and will offer naturalist programs that enhance children's understanding and love of nature. The interactive nature of the experiences provided through the programs and activities will offer children a hands-on approach to learning that is developmentally appropriate. The primary role of the nature center is proposed to re-create a sense of connectedness to nature and generate healthy communities.
