Permaculture is a design system that creates resilient, sustainable relationships between human beings and the natural world by mimicking the natural processes of the ecosystem. 

Little Urban Forest embeds permaculture pedagogy into our curriculum. We do so by first introducing living nature to children.

​

Children will discover the functions and importance of living nature in the environment. We also encourage children to grow their own food to further understand the connection between these living nature. Through this approach, children will develop better observation skills and awareness of their surroundings. Children will also be facilitated to think of why a plant is not growing well and how we can overcome this, which triggers their problem solving skills. Gradually, we move on to a bigger picture of how we can conserve the environment by making conscious decisions of our actions, for instance, picking up trash instead of littering.  

We also incorporate social permaculture which emphasises on self-identity formation, our connection with our families, and living harmoniously with our community.
