The Importance of Teaching Your Child to Use Eco-friendly Products
Young children are the future of the planet, one day they will be independent decision-makers, they could be educators or even worldwide policymakers. As every parent and teacher knows, what you teach them in childhood will stay with them forever. It is never too early for children’s to learn to throw items away in the recycling bin or begin to understand respect for the natural world around them and Wimbledon Day Nursery is a pioneer amongst Wimbledon nursery schools for the emphasis it puts on teaching children the importance of eco-friendly items and eco-friendly ideas.
Wimbledon Day Nursery follows the ‘Green Three R’s Rule’ Reduce, Reuse, Recycle:-
- during craft play, we use eco-friendly items and when play is finished, the children are taught about the recycling bins for their litter and also what they can recycle and use again. The children are encouraged to be part of that process
- The concept of using eco-friendly items and the impact they have on the environment is referenced in storytelling and outside play and nature activities so the children learn from an early age the impact they can make on the environment and their responsibility towards it
- Appropriate learning activities which revolve around play are geared towards an eco-friendly element, for example, the play shop in the nursery is an eco-friendly shop
- Gardening activities are a key time when children are introduced to the concept of the environment so that they can begin to understand how even in a small way they can have an influence
- Our Wimbledon Day Nursery handbags and school bags are made from 100% recycled and recyclable materials
Young minds are full of big ideas! Engaging children and giving them small responsibilities fosters confidence and lifelong habits. At Wimbledon Day Nursery, we believe early experiences shape the future, which is why eco-friendly values are at the heart of everything we do. Choose the most progressive and sustainable option among nursery schools in Wimbledon to give your child the best start.
