Many people ask us: "Why ECO CLUB?"
In our understanding, environmental education is the education of morality, spirituality, intelligence in children from an early age. Man and Nature: Philosophers, poets, artists of all times and peoples have paid tribute to this eternal and always relevant topic. Since harmonious upbringing is possible only with equal development of all directions of perception of the surrounding world.
Environmental education of preschool children involves:
- education of a humane attitude towards nature (moral education);
- formation of a system of environmental knowledge and ideas (intellectual development);
- the development of aesthetic feelings (the ability to see and feel the beauty of nature, to admire it, the desire to preserve it);
- participation of children in activities that are feasible for them to care for plants and animals, to protect and protect nature.
All components of such an integrated approach to environmental education in a preschool institution do not exist in isolation, but are interconnected. So, a humane attitude to nature arises in the process of realizing that the world around us is unique, unique, needs our care, and is consolidated in the process of practical activities for caring for indoor plants, inhabitants of a living corner, etc. To reveal the beauty of nature to the child and teaching to see her is a difficult task.
For this, the teacher himself must be able to live in harmony with nature, and children must be ready to imitate his every movement. They are very observant and attentive to the words of the teacher, they are good at distinguishing between positive and negative in the actions of adults. Environmental education, sincere love for nature means not only a certain state of mind, the perception of its beauty, but also its understanding and knowledge.
Thus, the most important condition for the successful implementation of an integrated approach is the creation of an environment in which adults, by personal example, demonstrate to children the correct attitude to nature and actively, to the best of their ability, participate in nature conservation activities with children.
