Preschools play a crucial role in shaping the attitudes and values of young learners. At Sakalya Wisdom Early Years, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is integrated into the curriculum to instill environmental awareness and sustainable practices from an early age.
A shining example of this was the celebration of Sustainable Transport Day, which provided a platform for children to understand the significance of eco-friendly transportation and its role in protecting the planet.
1. Green Pledge CeremonyThe day began with a Green Pledge Ceremony during the morning assembly. Children raised their placards high, promising to make choices that contribute to a cleaner, greener Earth. This hands-on activity made sustainability a tangible concept for young minds, emphasizing their role in creating a better future.
2. Engaging Discussions in Morning CircleDuring the morning circle time, teachers facilitated discussions on the benefits of using public transport, cycling, walking, and carpooling. These conversations helped children connect everyday transport habits with environmental impact, making the concept of sustainability relatable and understandable.
3. Taking the Message HomeEach child brought home a pledge placard, extending the learning experience to their families. This simple yet impactful step turned children into advocates of sustainability, spreading awareness among parents and the larger community.
4. Celebrating UN-Inspired DaysBy celebrating globally recognized days like Sustainable Transport Day, inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs), children at Sakalya are exposed to key ideas of sustainability. This repetition and celebration of themes over time help embed these values deeply, preparing them to embody sustainable practices in their lives.
The Role of Preschools in ESD Incorporating ESD into early education goes beyond teaching concepts—it creates an eco-conscious mindset. Activities like pledge ceremonies, discussions, and family engagement ensure that sustainability is not just an idea but a way of life. At Sakalya, we are proud to cultivate young stewards of the environment, equipping them to build a sustainable future for all.
