“Experts Urge Earlier Start to Teaching Science”
A recent article published by Education Week highlights the importance of science education for even our youngest students. According to the article, currently, “science is one of the areas in which children show the least learning growth during their preschool years.” At Sierra Nevada Journeys, we’ve decided to change that because we believe that children who are exposed to science at an earlier age are more likely to excel in their future studies and pursuits. In order to address the educational needs of even our youngest scholars, we are partnering with Project Learning Tree (PLT) to bring professional development opportunities in early childhood environmental education to Nevada. PLT will bring these opportunities to other states as well. Click here to learn more about PLT’s early childhood programming!

Something you should know about me:
I was first introduced to Sierra Nevada Journeys as an undergraduate student. I participated in several workshops during my time as a student. After graduation I was hired to work on our campus in Portola, CA. At the end of the summer I joined the staff in the Reno office as an Experiential Educator. I enjoy working with SNJ for the opportunity to work with a variety of student populations and the chance to teach curriculum focusing on scientific concepts. The work environment is always positive and encouraging. My role at SNJ is providing me with numerous opportunities and tools to accomplish my personal and
caeegoals.
