Little earth charter

Quirindi Preschool Kindergarten learning environment is driven by a set of guiding principles by Little Earth Charter. The Little Earth Charter outlines eight principles for a better world for children everywhere, and gives children tools to become a responsible earth steward for a sustainable future.

More About Little Earth Charter

The Little Earth Charter principles are:

Life – respect and consideration for all living things, regardless of how big or small.

Interconnected – each and every living this has their own special qualities and is connected through needing each other.

Family – means to ensure all in the human family are well treated.

Earth – means to take care of the earth and understand that earth is the home we share. We should take care of the earth for us and future generations.

Peace – to live in peace and to cooperate with others to resolve conflicts in a non-violent way, rather seek resolutions that are fair to everyone.

Love – means to be truthful and kind to others, and to understand the needs of each person you meet.

Future – ensuring that people both now and into the future can live in health, peace, and harmony on our beautiful earth.
