Learning today, Leading tomorrow

Beginning in 3rd grade, our students embark on a 4-year journey of discovering the wonders of the natural world and understanding their relationship to it, through interactive lessons in ecology and natural sciences, creative expression and hands-on activities that create unforgettable learning experiences that are relevant to their lives and their future.

Each garden, grove of trees, or individual plant at their school becomes our laboratory for learning, providing a real-world context in which to experience the ways of nature and witness how individual and collective action in caring for plants, soils, water and our own corner of the world can make a difference in securing a healthy planet and healthy self.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE BIBLIOTECA PUBLICA

150 students  – 4 Rural Primary Schools      

Eco-Niños is an ecological literacy program that fosters a deep connection and sense of responsibility toward the Earth. Through hands-on exploration, digital storytelling, and access to lending libraries, we are empowering children to connect with nature, discover their voices, and develop the skills to care for the planet.

Through field trips, gardening, and exploring the elements of nature, students experience the wonder of the natural world while building empathy, confidence, and stewardship. At each school, our lending libraries allow students to dive into nature topics that spark their curiosity and nurture a lifelong love of books and reading.

For 5th and 6th grade students, the program expands into digital storytelling, where they learn photography, video, writing, and research skills to create a school webpage documenting their Eco-Niños journey. Through sharing their stories, they inspire others to join them in caring for our planet.

By nurturing curiosity and fostering stewardship, Eco-Niños is helping to inspire a new generation of thoughtful, confident, and compassionate environmental leaders.
