At The Family Learning House we work with the children to care for the animals in our classrooms and our outdoor spaces; to reduce our impact on the environment by producing less trash and recycling where possible; and by eliminating the use of plastic bags in our schools.  Our SOHO campus has implemented a vermicompost - worm composting - environmentally turning our food waste into valuable compost for use in the school's gardens.

"Roots creep underground everywhere and make a firm foundation.  Shoots seem very weak, but to reach the light they can break through brick walls.  Imagine that the brick walls are all the problems we have inflicted on our planet.  Hundreds and thousands of roots and shoots, hundreds of thousands of young people around the world can break through these walls.  You CAN change the world!” - - Dr. Jane Goodall
