Starting young allows children to build lifelong sustainable habits that come as naturally to them as brushing their teeth.
Introducing climate change at an early age makes it a normal topic to talk about rather than a source of anxiety.
Climate education from early years gives children the foundational knowledge needed to pursue green careers and take climate action.
The youngest children will be the most impacted by climate change despite having contributed the least to it. They need to be prepared to face the climate challenges ahead.
By getting appropriate knowledge, they can understand that individual actions can make a difference.
The Earth Warriors early childhood curriculum is the 1st in the world that is aligned to age-appropriate learning standards and is based on the latest pedagogical research for this age-group. The Earth Warriors approach empowers children to learn about climate change without causing any feelings of stress or anxiety.
The curriculum encourages students to lead learning and explore their own interests.
Students learn about critical issues using play with the help of songs and characters.
Reinforces foundational skills and development milestones.
Lessons start with a mini lesson and end with a reflection that can slot into circle time. There are two activities per lesson that can slot into free play time, centre or station time.

In addition to climate change and sustainability we tick off many other areas of learning too; including:
