Business Planning for Nature Preschools & Forest Kindergartens

Catalog description

This course will explore the basics of business planning for nature preschools and forest kindergartens. Because there are many approaches to these entities and other forms of early childhood environmental education (ECEE), no single business plan model will apply to all. However, by covering a core selection of business planning strategies and sharing our own diverse experiences, all students in EDP 5600.SB should come away with the ability to effectively plan for the business aspects of either a new nature preschool/forest kindergarten venture or an expansion of an existing program.
