New Horizon Academy Director Brooke Hall Shares the Benefits of Outdoor Learning on KTTC Midwest Access
New Horizon Academy Rochester Director Brooke Hall recently appeared on KTTC’s Midwest Access to discuss the importance of outdoor learning in early childhood education.
Research shows that when children engage in environmental play, explore natural elements, work together, and follow their curiosity, they build stronger attention skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.
Hall highlighted New Horizon Academy’s commitment to early education in nature, emphasizing how time outdoors supports cognitive development, social cooperation, and emotional growth. She explained how activities like building with natural materials, observing nature, and collaborating with peers help children develop essential skills that prepare them for school and life.
At all its childcare centers, New Horizon Academy incorporates intentional outdoor experiences that nurture the whole child, strengthen peer relationships, and foster a lifelong connection to nature.
