The virtue of wonder
It is in the early years that children develop their basic values, attitudes, skills, behaviours and habits, which may be long lasting. This is the time to nurture and develop children’s biophilia, their natural love for the earth and living things. Children experience the environment in deep, direct ways with a natural curiosity and interest in the elements of nature, and a true instinct for what is beautiful.
At Little Earth our children are given time to interact with nature and living things with the aim to develop their love and appreciation of nature and their surroundings. Our programme includes experiences and exploring activties with elements such as plants, flowers, seeds, water, wind, and soil. Reconnecting children with the natural world hopefully creates a future generation that values and preserves nature and supports sustainable development.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. Albert Einstein
