Little Green Footprints
Learning sustainability starts with everyday practice. Children will learn how to live in harmony with nature from a young age and carry this eco-consciousness thread lifelong.
Sustainable practices in our daily routine day-to-day activities include:
- Learning about the environment in our lessons
- Utilizing recyclable items (tissue boxes, toilet rolls, straws, corks, etc) in classroom activities
- Encouraging children to switch off water and electricity after using
- Teaching children the natural decomposition cycle by composting food scraps in our backyard
- Educating children and having them participate in ‘garden to plate’ activities including seed sprouting, weeding, vegetable gardens, and cooking
- Educating children on caring for plants and recycling clean water into our garden
- Field trips to gardens, plant nurseries, and refill centers
Embracing learning opportunities and embodying sustainability in our design and day-to-day operations
- Incorporating a plant-based menu
- Instilling a zero single-use plastic rule at school
- Making organic, homemade soaps, mosquito repellents, and gels in – house by a field expert
- Sourcing linen and other sustainable fabrics for uniform
- Maximizing natural resources where possible such as relying on natural light and heat
- Recycling water from water play or children’s drinking bottles into our gardens
- Utilizing environmentally friendly products, such as wood, bamboo, copper and steel, for learning aids and materials
- Up cycling raw materials in the construction of Little Treehouse Nursery
