Learning Nature Through Play! 'Tadpole Teacher' Leads Parents and Children to Explore the World of Ecology
Research shows that children learn far more effectively when they're engaged in fun, interest-driven play. The emerging Nature Experience Approach uses hands-on interaction and parent-child co-learning to foster a strong bond with the natural world, earning great popularity among parents. Leading this movement is Tadpole Teacher Lu Jun‑yi, a well-known figure in parent-child ecology education. He founded the Tadpole Pond Nature Platform and the Micro‑Wilderness Ecological Café, designing ecology camps, talks, and trips for families to connect with nature through play.According to research, when children learn through play that interests them, the results are significantly enhanced!

These activities not only sharpen children observation skills of plants and animals, but also instill values of conservation and respect for life. The team has also organized overseas ecological travels, guiding families to learn about different cultures and natural resources abroad, putting ecological sustainability into practice.Thoughtfully designed Stroller Classes suit young children and are held in easily accessible, flat-area venues like Da‑An Forest Park and Shilin Official Residence.
