Dirt on My Shirt

There is dirt on my shirt

And leaves in my hair

There's mud on my boots but I don't really care

Playing outside is so much fun

To breathe the clean air

And feel the warm sun

To stomp in a puddle

Or climb a big tree

Makes me quite happy

Just look and you'll see.

-Jeff Foxworthy

Kidz Go Eco Nature School in Saco, Maine, is a preschool I wish every child could experience. This school is enchanting in every way. The Reggio-Emilia philosophy inspires the school's foundation. Known as the Hundred Languages, it is the belief that children use a hundred different ways to show their understanding of the world around them.

The school cultivates an environment that teaches children to become:

Wonderful citizens.
Stewards for the environment.
Supporting conservation literacy.
The importance of cultural diversity.

I have always loved books. I especially love creating them for my children. I wanted to capture this special time for my son, Liam, before moving on to Kindergarten. Everyone should be able to grow, explore, and learn in this joyful, loving environment. To capture this moment in time, I created the Kidz Go Eco Memory Book.

Included in the book is a letter from Michelle Goulet, the Director & Founder

of Kidz Go Eco Preschool. She lets the children know how much they mean to her and what she hopes for them in the future.
