Little people discovering biodiversity and environmental awareness through art, drama, music and play.

Planet Earthkids Education for kids

Basic environmental science

We engage early learners to become environmentally and socially responsible, blending basic environmental science, drama, art, music, and movement for environmental learning.

At the heart of our program lies the belief that early education is the cornerstone for nurturing responsible, creative, and environmentally literate individuals. Our unique incursions are designed to introduce the wonders of the natural world through an engaging blend of the arts, environmental science, and interactive play.

Environmental education for kids

“Eco,” in our context, symbolises a comprehensive approach to learning that encompasses ecology, biodiversity, sustainability, and the connections between living beings and their environment. We believe that weaving these themes into our curriculum with music, drama, art, and hands-on activities can make complex concepts accessible and exciting for early learners.

Creating curiosity for our planet

Our sessions are tailored to ignite curiosity, build empathy for our planet, and encourage active participation in its preservation, all while supporting motor skill development and cognitive growth.

Planet Earthkids’ educational framework

Planet Earthkids’s programs are designed to seamlessly integrate into and enhance the current educational frameworks, fostering essential STEM capabilities while providing enriching, comprehensive learning experiences.

Here’s how our offerings are structured:

Framework & curriculum integration

Aligned with early learning frameworks

Our curriculum is built on the foundational principles of Belonging, Being, and Becoming. This framework emphasises the importance of children feeling a part of their community and environment (Belonging), understanding their world (Being), and actively participating in society (Becoming).

Activity-based Learning

Our activity-based programs allow teachers to select topics within our broad framework that best fit their class’s curriculum needs. This flexibility ensures that our incursions are not only educational but also relevant to the current learning objectives of each group.

Comprehensive environmental topics

We cover a wide range of topics designed to inspire the future generations of our planet’s biodiversity. From exploring different geographical areas to weather conditions impacting ecosystems, human-animal coexistence, renewable energy, resource conservation, and sensory exploration of tiny and mega worlds, including fossil discoveries.

Our programs are part of developing STEM capabilities, where our methodology aims to develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and an understanding of real-world applications to engage children.
