GREENING AND SUSTAINABILITY AT ACRES OF FUN
At Acres of Fun Pre-School, we are deeply committed to sustainability and environmental stewardship. Our sustainability projects are designed to engage children in meaningful, hands-on activities that teach them why we care for the environment.

Growing Our Food

We maintain a vibrant vegetable garden where children actively participate in planting, watering, and harvesting. This not only provides them with a hands-on understanding of nature but also instills a deep sense of responsibility and connection to the environment. We are able to grow and supply our kitchen with fresh produce to supplement our meals, fostering a love for nature and understanding where their food comes from.

Chickens for Eggs and Meat

Our school’s flock of chickens provides us with fresh, organic eggs daily. The children help collect the eggs and learn about the lifecycle of chickens, including raising them for meat. This hands-on experience emphasizes the value of sustainable food sources and animal care.

Rabbits for Sale and educational purposes

We raise rabbits not only to support our diet but also for educational purposes. The children feed and care for the rabbits. This hands-on experience is a crucial part of our sustainability education, teaching children about the interconnectedness of food sources and the importance of responsible animal care.

Water Conservation

Our children are not just learning about water conservation, they are actively promoting it.You will find our children singing at home and in the community about the need to preserve water. They are heightened to close taps and report running water to adults. By instilling good water-saving habits early on, we aim to foster a lifelong commitment to sustainability in our students and inspire them to be ambassadors of change in their communities.

FUTURE GOALS
Green Energy
We hope to reduce our carbon footprint by implementing renewable energy solutions which will include solar powered stoves to cook our meals and solar panels for lighting . This initiative will not only help us reduce our environmental impact but also serve as educational tools to teach children about the benefits of clean energy.

Community Engagement
We hope to actively engage with the local community to promote sustainability beyond our school walls. Our goal is to inspire others to consider these sustainability practices and work together towards a more sustainable future.
By integrating sustainability into our curriculum and daily operations, Acres of Fun Pre-School is not only teaching children about environmental stewardship but protecting our world for future generations.
