Earth day was April 22nd. It’s a great time to learn about our planet and how we can contribute everyday to take care of it. Children have the most important stake in keeping our planet healthy. They will be the caretakers of our planet in years to come. It’s important to explain to children what Earth day represents, and what we can do in our classroom and at home, not just one day, but everyday. Children as young as toddlers can begin to take part in taking care of the earth while having fun and learning the importance of caring for the earth. In the toddler program, we participated in Earth day this year by using recycled paper to make art and practiced how we can recycle/compost in the classroom and at home.
