The purpose of this study is to find out if preschool teachers have any ideas about teaching children in an outdoor environment and what these ideas are. We were also interested to see if the preschool teachers felt that there were any obstacles to teaching in the outdoors. Through a phenomenological perspective, we have conducted qualitative interviews with six preschool teachers in the Stockholm area. The interviews have since been analyzed and thematized and after that presented in our study. In our study, we have found that preschool teachers do have ideas about how children learn in an outdoor environment. These ideas we have divided into two themes, a theme in which the preschool teachers have found difficulties within the outdoor space as a learning environment and a theme through which we can see through their unreflected thoughts that they posses practical knowledge of the importance of learning in an outdoor environment.
