Sustainability Education Program in Kamulu

Learning about the world around us is a significant part of the Montessori curriculum.The sustainability program aims to develop an awareness of protecting and sustaining our environment. The children are introduced to various topics which provide the children with a better understanding of the world around them and we aim to translate these topics into sustainable practices at the centre.
Topics covered include the water cycle, seasonal gardening, reduce/reuse/recycle, minibeasts, animals and their habitats, composting, harvesting and many more. These topics are introduced to the children during circle time and are extended and expanded upon with specific hand-made Montessori materials which the children can utilise during the Montessori cycle. Our centre is equipped with vegetable patches, compost bins and worm farms as well as plenty of space for planting flowers, succulents and more! The children are responsible for day to day planting, watering and maintaining the gardens.
