An eco-preschool incorporates the fundamental principles of the early years learning framework while maintaining a determined focus on integration of environmental education and the natural world. Early childhood education plays a vital role in developing a child’s identity in a manner that enables them to connect with and contribute to their environment. An in/outdoor environment has the added advantage of bringing hands on environmental education into the preschool experience.
The learning program keeps children in touch with nature through active ecological education within the surrounding natural environment. Plettenberg Bay, with 7 unique eco-systems and Robberg and Keurbooms Nature Reserves right on its doorstep, provides the ideal outside environment to facilitate educational excursions, to promote the importance of nature conservation.
