About this Nature-Based Training

Join ERAFANS at Briya Public Charter School for this 6-clock hour Professional Development Institute (*pending MSDE clock hour approval)! With a focus on spring outdoor play, we will spend the day immersed in the outdoors and exploring the Briya campus. You can expect the morning workshops to feature two tracks, one for infant/toddler teachers and another for preschool. 

ERAFANS will provide a professional development certificate at the conclusion of the event. Please dress for the weather, as 100% of this training takes place outdoors, rain or shine. 

Note: Please bring your canteen for drinks; lunch is provided.
