3 EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND CARE1.BackgroundThe future or the coming generation inherit the environment created or left behind bytheir predecessors. One of the best ways to ensure that the planet and its environment remainhealthy for future generation is teach the young ones about the benefit of recycling. Teachingat an young age will help in the development of a habit along with awareness about wastemanagement and an appreciation for preserving resources1. In the Kings Kindergarten school in Australia, it was found that the toddlers ( 2 to 3years of age) are not aware of the sustainable use of the environment resources. However,making them understand about the utility of sustainable practices at this young age is adifficult task and if it can be done, it will benefit the nature, environment and the comingrace.The aim of this research is to establish a program for children to equip them with thenecessary knowledge, skills and acquire a healthy attitude to become environmentallyresponsible. As children explore the environment, it is key to broaden their understanding ofhow they, themselves impact their surroundings based on their attitude towards theenvironment. One of the main aspects of sustainable practices is to incorporate three “R”, Reduce,Reuse, Recycle, and educate the children to take care when it comes to food waste2. The mainresearch question that will be addressed in order to fulfil the aim is:1.Do children really understand the word recycling and what does it means?1Turnbull, Stephanie.‘Rubbish and recycling’.
