Environmental education is important for our children from their earliest years so they can grow up with the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to take environmentally responsible actions.
Snails live in houses too: Environmental education for the early years provides many teaching strategies and experiences which can be integrated into all aspects of the early childhood program with the aim of encouraging children to be environmentally aware.
" To Froebel belongs the credit for finding the true nature of play and regulating it to lead naturally into work. The same spontaneity and joy, the same freedom and serenity that characterise the plays of childhood are realised in all human activity. The gifts and occupations are the living connection which makes both play and work expressions of the same creative activity. " W N Hailmann
