This article focuses on a nature kindergarten pilot project in Sooke, BC, about an hour outside of Victoria on Vancouver Island. Toni Hoyland and Enid Elliot highlight the partnership between the kindergarten teacher, Lisa Lockerbie, and the early childhood educator, Erin Van Stone, as they work together to weave emergent play-based approaches with academic literacy and numeracy opportunities. The program takes place in the forest of Royal Roads University adjacent to Sangster Elementary School. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
