Daycare centers are places of education and learning for sustainability

Kindergartens offer children many opportunities to deal with the topic of sustainability in everyday life and in projects. Various aspects such as environmental protection and sustainable thinking are incorporated into their daily routines.

Education for sustainable development (ESD)

BNE begins in daycare, because children are growing up in an increasingly complex and globalized world that is facing major challenges. They need learning and experience spaces in which they are supported in dealing with these challenges. Daycare centers have a special role to play.

Habits and climate-friendly behavior such as separating waste, saving energy and avoiding food waste are formed in childhood. That's why children and adolescents experience exactly that with climate education: they learn with and from each other, share and question. Sustainable behavior is practiced at an early age and thus becomes a topic in the family and with friends - because there is no minimum age for climate protection.

"Climate Detectives" Prevention Project

Over the course of a kindergarten year, children ages 3 to 6 learn in a playful way how their own actions can positively impact the health of the planet and humanity.

Climate adaptation in daycare centers

The Federal Ministry for the Environment's funding program to support social institutions promotes climate adaptation concepts such as the installation of sun sails or the construction of water playgrounds. The design of the next funding window is currently being planned.
