May Day!

The alarm has been sounded! Time spent on technology screens has skyrocketed and outdoor

playtime is being eclipsed right before our eyes.

Children are growing up too fast and losing their childhood innocence. Terms like ‘Nature Deficit

Disorder’ now capture a generation of children with little hands-on playtime in our natural world.

Our mission is to work with children and help connect them with nature. You protect what you

care for and falling in love with nature as a young child is a great place to start.

Becoming Caregivers of Mother Earth

Heading into our second year, I dream about what may come from the seeds we planted last year and all the learnings we’ve discovered along the way. It’s not enough to plant a garden. Children need to understand how we are all connected in the web of life. That’s why we share social and emotional learning as a part of our programs. We are calling it Environmental Educational Enrichment. Most encouraging from last year are all the resources available for parents and teachers. Least encouraging is the time it has taken us to discover these resources. While there is a vast quantity of excellent materials, they are fragmented in pockets that have taken considerable time to identify and catalog.

Dream Big

Our mantra for Caregivers of Mother Earth is to collaborate and COME Together. Many hands

make the load light! Our Chief Fairy Godmother for Caregivers of Mother Earth has been busy creating an umbrella

of resources for parents and teachers to have ready access. She has devised a catalog system

based on key topics of learning that will save countless hours of research. She also has

placeholders for age-appropriate activities on each topic for children from Kindergarten through

5th grade.



COME Home to the Garden

Consider joining Caregivers of Mother Earth as we discover the endless possibilities to COME Together and create a better world for our children and seven generations yet to come. 

“Our children are our hope for the future.” Elle Travis

COME Together and do your part. We can reverse the trend and create a more balanced life for future generations of children as we walk-the-talk as Caregivers of Mother Earth.
