IC Responsibility
Enviromental Sustainability Preschool (Ras Beirut )
Rewilding the Ras Beirut Campus International College emphasizes the importance of nature-based experiences for young learners. This is evident through the preschool’s newly unveiled experiential learning playgrounds. Developed in collaboration with “The OtherDada”, renowned for innovative design, the playgrounds are dynamic learning spaces fostering cognitive, social, and emotional development. Beyond physical activity, the spaces encourage research, critical thinking, and literacy skills. The naturecentric design promotes environmental stewardship, offering interactive green classrooms where our youngest learners can explore, question, wonder, observe, and collect data. Children are prompted to inquire about various plants and creatures, instilling a profound love for nature and establishing a foundational understanding of their role as environmentally responsible citizens. This year’s students have already enjoyed partaking in planting these spaces and bringing them to
life with their little hands. They will continue to tend to and care for the seeds and small plants, enhancing their understanding of concepts such as environmental sustainability and responsibility.
