Cognitive development is a critical part of a child's growth and includes skills like problem solving, thinking, learning, exploring, and investigating! Those skills help children understand relationships between ideas, cause and effect, and be able to analyze things. 

​The indoor environment provides a safe, secure yet challenging space for children. For some children, it is like a second 'home', providing a place for activity, rest, eating and sleeping. The indoor environment contains resources which are appropriate, well maintained and accessible for all children.

Outdoor play and exploring is good for children's development and well being. It pushes them to explore and investigate the environment around them and IT IS FUN TOO! 

When teachers use activities that make learning engaging and fun, students are more willing to participate and take risks. Having fun while learning also helps students retain information better because the process is enjoyable and memorable.

Physical health is important because it helps children build strong bones and muscles, improves their coordination, helps reduce the risk of developing health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. It also reduces stress and helps children regulate their emotions.

Infant development is important because it helps children develop the skills and capabilities they need to function and survive in society. During infancy, children experience tremendous growth, coordination, and mental development. By the end of infancy, most babies can learn to walk, manipulate objects, and form basic words. 

Gardening with children can have many benefits, including:
Emotional-Gardening can improve mood, reduce stress, and increase feelings of purpose and responsibility.
Cognitive-Gardening can improve attention and memory, and increase math and science skills. It can also teach patience, as it can take weeks or months for seeds to grow into vegetables.
Physical-Gardening is a form of exercise that uses many muscles in the body, including larger muscles and fine motor skills. It also provides opportunities to get outdoors, practice balance and dexterity, and walk, lift, and carry.
Sensory-Gardening can encourage sensory development, such as color recognition, fragrance identification, and learning how fresh food tastes.
Environmental-Gardening can teach children about environmental awareness and responsibility for taking care of the planet, such as composting food scraps and using rainwater.
