Part 3 - Line 1

WE BELIEVE CONNECTING WITH NATURE NOURISHES THE CHILDS MIND, BODY AND SOUL. ALMITAS FOUNDATION'S MISSION IS FOUR-FOLD. FIRST, CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN OF ALL BACKGROUNDS TO HAVE ACCESS TO NATURE- BASED, ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY LEARNING THROUGH WONDERBLOOM NATURE PLAYSCHOOL. NEXT, PROVIDE TRAINING AND SUPPORT SO OTHER EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS COMPETENTLY INCORPORATE AND IMPLEMENT NATURE-BASED EDUCATIONAL APPROACHES IN THEIR OWN PROGRAMS. FURTHERMORE, ENRICH AND EXPAND THE EMPIRICAL BASIS FOR NATURE-BASED LEARNING. FINALLY, LEND CREDIBILITY AND SUPPORT FOR LICENSING BODIES AND REGULATORS TO INCORPORATE NATURE-BASED LEARNING APPROACHES INTO THEIR DECISION-MAKING. WE HAVE TWO GUIDING VALUES: FOCUS ON HIGH-RISK OR UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS - INCLUDING CHILDREN THAT ARE LOW-INCOME, BIPOC, AND HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS. IN ADDITION, INCORPORATE ECO- FRIENDLY PRACTICES AND MATERIALS AND SUPPORT COMPANIES/ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE ECO-FRIENDLY.
