Join The Children’s Nature Institute and Blueberry Atelier as they present

“A Sense of Wonder, A Sense of Place: Viewing Nature Through the Images and Words of Our Children”

In partnership with The Natural History Museum’s Sustainable Sundays, this week-long interactive exhibit will feature the poetry and photography of budding environmentalists in Blueberry’s preschool class. Entrance to the event is included with the cost of museum admission.

Over the past year, Blueberry Atelier Family Child Care and The Children’s Nature Institute (CNI) have been working in collaboration to offer unique, hands-on nature experiences for the parents and children of Blueberry. Once a month, CNI educators, Blueberry teachers, parents and children embarked on an exploration of Temescal Canyon. This canyon became a classroom without walls; filled with places that fed our spirits, imaginations and souls. Through these dynamic experiences, nature came alive in the hands, hearts and minds of the children.

We invite you share this journey as seen through the eyes and ears of our children.

The Children’s Nature Institute: Since 1985, The Children's Nature Institute, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit agency, has provided environmental education programs to more than a quarter of a million young children, parents, and teachers in the greater Los Angeles area. CNI is dedicated to providing families with the opportunity to explore the natural world through hands-on, educational experiences. For many of our children, CNI’s programs are their first experience of the natural world.
