The Preschool Podcast

The Buffalo Zoo runs a Reggio-inspired preschool program that uses the zoo as a learning environment. In this episode, we get the opportunity to chat with Anna Ileto, Program Specialist, about what it means to run a program that collaborates with zookeepers. She also shares her experience and tips on how teachers can leverage a child’s natural curiosity about nature as a stepping stone to teach them preschool skills.   Resources:  Buffalo Zoo Preschool Welcomes Fall The “Pet Project” - Channel 7 Feature 2019 Fall Newsletter The Spider Project
