Sustainability in Childcare
Sustainability is an extremely important aspect of life in this generation. People are becoming increasingly mindful of how their actions impact the local and global environment. As a result, they’re adapting and developing new ways of interacting with the world to preserve and protect it from human-induced damage. At Learn Smart Early Learning Centres, we’re passionate about sustainability in the early years. At our centres, we endeavour to educate children from an early age to recognise, understand and appreciate the value of sustainable practices through activities that look simple but have lasting habits and impact.
Sustainable Practices
We cover various aspects of sustainability at our centres. We aim to be as energy-efficient as possible in terms of how we operate and use the resources of our centres, and we teach children to be mindful of their own energy and environment usage as well. Our early childhood learning environment aims to teach children to practise sustainability in everyday action. At our centres, we encourage them to participate in gardening, composting, recycling and other day to day living habits and activities as part of environmental programs to develop a mindfulness that will inform their future attitudes and decisions.
Our environmental sustainability also supports and encourages our educators to follow appropriate policies in place to promote sustainable practices such as setting up effective messaging, distributing newsletters, developing calendars, using composting bins, conserving water, purchasing eco-friendly equipment, providing books, and more. Our early childhood learning outcomes direct us to adopt eco-friendly everyday practices at our centres.
Contact Us today and our team will be happy to answer any questions you may have about sustainability in centres.
