Today:  Lakeshore Public Media’s “Building Blocks” initiative is a comprehensive multimedia project dedicated to exploring the science of early childhood development and addressing the challenges faced by families in Northwest Indiana.  We bring you the latest episode of the project with host Dr. Mary Jane Eisenhauer of First Things First Porter County. She speaks to Heather Hahn-Sullivan, Executive Director of the Dunes Learning Center, is a passionate naturalist and tireless advocate for environmental education across the National Parks and Indiana Dunes.
