Environmentally friendly
Utilising environmentally friendly products (where possible) such as non-toxic art supplies and natural educational resources.
Sustainability
We're on a journey towards a fully sustainable childcare facility
'He taonga nō te whenua, me hoki anō ki te whenua.' What is given by the land should return to the land. We are committed to protecting the future of our children by caring for our environment and encouraging a sustainable future.
Little Moa's helps develop children's understanding and respect for the environment, and encourages critical thinking and discussion around sustainable practices. Here's what we do every day, alongside our children and their whānau.
Less plastic
Minimising the use of hard and soft plastic, by actively looking for ways to avoid unnecessary plastic resources or products with plastic packaging.
Worm farms
Minimising waste through composting food scraps and organic waste, feeding our worm farms and putting worm castings into our veggie and herb gardens.
Re-use and recycle programme
Using recyclable materials where possible and encouraging children to re-use and recycle paper and other materials at home and at the centre.
Green housekeeping
Promoting awareness of the environment through green housekeeping practices such as healthy eating, gardening, minimising waste, and reducing water and energy consumption.
Garden to table
Growing organic fruit, veggies and herbs with our tamariki, then harvesting and cooking them into the meals we share together.
