Quality Time Child Development Center
At QT, we emphasize the importance of composting, recycling, reusing, and growing our own food. At a very young age children learn about many things they can do to reduce their carbon footprint. They are taught how to value and respect their planet-- It' is their future.
SUSTAINABILITY
Reduce...
Children are capable of learning how to
reduce the amount of prepackaging they
use. They can use reusable containers etc...
We can model how to rinse out containers
so that they may be reused again or recycled.
Reuse...
Children are capable of learning how to reuse
items so that they can get alot of use instead
of contributing to our landfill. In our
classroom environment children are
encouraged to reuse ...cups, paper, various art
materials, etc...
Compost...
Children are capable of understanding that
our solid waste (food) can be given back to the earth and benefit our gardens. While providing hands on experience in composting methods we are reducing the amount of solid waste sent to our landfill.
Recycle...
Children are capable of learning and should be taught to recycle as much as they possible can. Learning how to recycle is the final link in the chain of reducing, reusing and recycling.
Enjoy nature...
A quiet revolution has begun--its aim is simple....Get our children outside and closer to nature!
