Organic & eco-friendly environment for your childrenYoung children may not be old enough to understand why they
should be concerned with environmental neglect, but they are
sensitive enough to appreciate the beauty of Montana
and to begin developing good, environmentally-conscious habits.
Caregivers play an important role in helping young children cultivate a sense of
caring and appreciation for the environment. As the foundation for developing
responsible citizens begins in the preschool years, young children are at
an ideal age to begin learning about environmental issues.
By participating in hands-on activities with an environmental theme and
by seeing caregivers model appropriate behaviour, children acquire the
basic knowledge, skills and values that promote environmental responsibility.
Environmental education can be divided into three categories:
~protecting the atmosphere/reducing waste
~using water wisely
~nurturing our natural resources
