Family awareness continues on a regular basis at Noah's Ark Christian Preschool and Kindergarten, through parent volunteers in the Nature Explore Classroom.

Photos are posted on the Nature Explore Classroom board, located in the hallway, that highlight activities taking place in the classroom. A Fall Family Fest was hosted in the Nature Explore Classroom this year and the school participated in the community Scarecrow Fest. These were wonderful opportunities to highlight the Nature Explore Classroom and explain the importance of outdoor learning as part of the curriculum.

Noah's Ark is now part of the Leave No Child Inside Initiative and also joined forces with the Barrington Citizens for Conservation. Tours are given to teachers attending nature workshops which provide the opportunity to share ideas and help them get excited about starting their own Nature Explore Classroom. Plans are in place to host future nature workshops.
