There are many ways early childhood education (ECE) services can care for the planet as well as for their children. Educators might switch to eco-friendly alternatives, introduce sustainable practices, or encourage greater environmental engagement, and whatever form an eco-drive takes, this is an opportunity for educators and children to work together in a positive way.

The truth about why children lie
|
|
|
|
We might not like to admit it but lying is a common part of life. Grown-ups do it, and children learn to do it from an early age. Is fibbing as bad as it sounds?
