About Us

The Colorado Collective for Nature-Based Early Education is growing. 

Our Story

The Colorado Collective for Nature-Based Early Education is comprised of educators, coaches and parents across CO who have a passion for supporting the equity and expansion of nature-based education.  The Collective began as a way of bringing professionals in the industry together and has grown as the mission and pathways to achieving equity and access to nature-based education have become more clear: licensing, coaching, professional development, networking, and consistent reflective practice, inclusive of parent feedback, practitioner feedback, and research.
