Mummy loves to bring ZaC outdoors so he can use his 5 senses to experience new things. This is experiential learning. You learn only when you get to touch, feel and do something. So, no enrichment classes for ZaC at the moment cos he will learn less inside the 4 walls - when he sees a picture of a snail, he only knows the word associated with the picture. If he sees a snail crawling and eating grass, he knows what the snail looks like, smells like, how it crawls (slowly) and what it eats. Bringing ZaC closer to nature is also something important cos it provides the best classroom and lessons! He will learn to appreciate nature and help to conserve it.
It's amazing that there are some great places to expose kids to nature and at no cost - just like the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden!
