The idea
Scandinavian early education centres unstructured outdoor play in all weather; nature preschools produce kindergarten readiness similar to academic preschools.
In practice
Four-year-olds climbing, building and exploring outdoors all morning, through rain and snow.
Where people slip
The misconception is that play takes time from learning. Nature preschool children also showed better executive control.
