About eco Preschools

Our Philosophy

"You know that the beginning is the most important part of any work,
especially in the case of a young and tender thing" - Plato

eco preschools is committed to providing balanced experiences that are responsive to the needs of children in the context of their families, communities and societies in which they live. When a society is out of harmony with nature, the spending of money brings prosperity in one place and destruction in another. In a truly sustainable society, business leaders make decisions that further the prosperity of everyone.

eco preschools endeavor to provide responsible Early Childhood Education from Educational, Business and Environmental Science Perspectives that promote sustainable living in individuals and localized communities. By enrolling your child into our eco preschool, you will support principles of environmental protection and social ethics. You will also be educating children to work towards a future that supports sustainable living; the delicate balance between all the living forms on earth, animate & inanimate.

eco preschools also recognises the important role that sound early childhood provisions play in supporting families and building strong communities. Dedicated staff cater to whole child development and learning by employing developmentally appropriate practices that recognise and value the child in the integration and development of practical tools with daily applications.

eco preschools is an information resource for children and families. We are linked to a multitude of human services that support children and families and strengthen communities. Where possible, we endeavor to support sustainable processes and utilize products produced by organic methods and by local people, to support the community that supports us.
