Ecosystems - Our World's Resources

Les Garderies K.I.D.S. Ecosystems Program introduces children to the plants and animals that live in a variety of ecosystems around the world.  By exploring these environments, they are learning about the animals, the plants and the people who live in them.

Each class adopts an ecosystem. The educators discuss the importance of protecting our natural resources, and appreciating the variety and the diversity of life around the world.

We believe it is essential for children to learn about biodiversity, our environment, and to have ecological awareness. With knowledge of the world we live in, and the effects of our actions on the environment, it creates an appreciation for our world and a desire to preserve it for future generations.
