Unique Benefits of Outdoor Time for Young Girls

Setting our girls up for success with nature-based education

While it is becoming widely recognized that outdoor time benefits all children, research reveals that young girls, in particular, gain unique advantages from spending time in nature. Time spent in nature helps girls develop essential life skills, from enhanced problem-solving abilities and confidence to improved physical health and emotional well-being. With studies showing that preschool girls are 16% less likely to be taken outside by their parents to play than preschool boys, it is more important than ever to focus on getting our girls outdoors.

Thorne Nature Preschool in Lafayette, CO provides a safe, supportive environment where girls can thrive, foster a connection to nature, and challenge societal expectations—setting them up for success both in and out of the classroom.
