CLARKSVILLE, TN – A green ribbon cutting was recently held to formally introduce Little Learners University to Clarksville’s Green Certification Program.
The program promotes sustainability with a focus on improving resource efficiency and resiliency. The ceremony was attended by Little Learners University staff, the Green Certification Program Board, Montgomery County Mayor Jim Durrett and City of Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts.
Little Learners University became interested in joining the program in 2019 as a way to help educate children and their families about the importance of recycling and reusing. While going through the program, they have learned new ways to reduce waste within the facility and have expanded the number of items they are able to reuse within the classrooms.
“Through what we call FEM’s, Family Engagement Moments, the facility will introduce, encourage and remind the families of simple ways to practice small changes in their homes,” said Tracy Waller, a member of LLU. “Each change made will help our community and the environment at large.”
In addition, Little Learners University is excited to begin networking with the over 135 other Green Certified Organizations. They want to continue to expand the sustainability information they can provide to their students and families.
Little Learners University provides quality childcare for infants 6 weeks old up to children 12 years old, as well as part-time pre-kindergarten for children ages 3 to 5 years. The facility is located at 592 Peachers Mill Road. You can find more information about LLU via their website, Instagram or Facebook pages.
