Empowering Preschool Teachers with Environmental Education Activities

A special programme was successfully conducted on 13 January 2026 for preschool teachers in the Chilaw Pradeshiya Sabha administrative area, with the aim of introducing effective and age-appropriate environmental activities for preschool children.

The programme was attended by two members of the Pradeshiya Sabha (Local Government Council), the Chairman of the Chilaw Pradeshiya Sabha, and 75 preschool teachers representing various preschools in the region. Their active participation highlighted the strong commitment of local authorities and educators toward promoting environmental awareness from an early age.

Director and the Education Officer developed and presented a specially designed module focused on simple, engaging, and practical environmental activities suitable for preschool children. The module emphasized learning through play, observation, and interaction with nature, making environmental education both enjoyable and meaningful for young learners.

The preschool teachers expressed their  agreement, appreciation, and gratitude for the initiative, recognizing its value in shaping children’s attitudes toward nature and conservation. As a positive outcome of the programme, arrangements have been made for preschool children to visit the museum in the future, providing them with hands-on learning experiences that reinforce the concepts introduced through the module.

This programme marked an important step in strengthening environmental education at the preschool level and fostering collaboration between local government authorities, educators, and the museum to nurture environmentally responsible future generations.
