TODAYAbout our Gardens
From the start we’ve been conscious about what materials we use in our classrooms. Whether the children are outside digging for worms, or inside having a dance party, we know that messes will happen. We use natural cleaning products to ensure that no yucky or toxic chemicals will harm the environment or your child. Being Green allows us to get creative with items we already have, reduce our waste and be respectful to the world we live in.
Each year we grow various vegetables in garden boxes on our playgrounds! The children help plant the seeds, water, weed and care for the plants as they grow. Once they are grown, the children also help harvest the veggies – and sometimes take a quick bite to check for tasting purposes. We’re continuously growing, which is an aspect of our school community we celebrate and encourage!
Growth initiatives
These extend far beyond our gardens. We care about the well-being of our staff, families and students. When you’re at Green Garden we are with you to make sure you’re at your best. Growing can be painful, trust us, we’ve been there. We know we’re always stronger as a team!
Outdoor classroom
At each Green Garden Campus you will find a natural playground, which we often refer to as our “outdoor classroom”. Outside is an extension of our indoor environments and we take our outside time very seriously. Everyone knows outside can get messy – we keep it that way. Our teachers and staff express excitement as we walk outdoors to explore!
Nature brought indoors
Our classroom pets are bugs. Because honestly, why not? There’s so much to learn about all creatures. Our pets have included worms, butterflies and praying mantises. Our children rave about finding “wormies” and we make sure to give them every opportunity possible.
