Sustainable Practices:
A Multi-Dimensional View
Sustainability in early childhood is about more than recycling, gardening and turning off the lights.
It involves environmental, social and economic decisions that influence children, educators, families, communities and the long-term future of early childhood services.
This practical online professional development course supports educators and leaders to move beyond isolated sustainability activities and embed meaningful, achievable practices across their everyday work.
