Sustainability
We provide opportunities for children to learn about their Environment and the importance of respecting our natural resources. We have embedded sustainable practices within our service, educators and children are responsible for maintaining these practices. Children are included in caring for our immediate natural environment, our chickens, rabbit and tree frog. We encourage donations of recycled materials via our recycling box for the children to explore and create which limits the purchasing and transit of paper, art and cardboard products. We have many visual aids displayed within the service to remind children and educators of reducing, reusing and recycling. We encourage families to assist us in this learning by implementing these strategies at home.
