Little Greenies @ North West

Programme under Sustainable communities

Last updated 22 July 2026

Young children in school uniforms hold a yellow poster reading Save the Earth and Save the Energy in a classroom.

Little Greenies @ North West was officially launched in 2019 and aims to support pre-school centres in creating a Green Learning corner to educate pre-schoolers on environmental conservation and good eco habits via story-telling and play activities.

In 2025, North West CDC refreshed the "Go Green with Betty the Butterfly" resource booklets with updated content to ensure they remain relevant and aligned with current sustainability topics.

Preschools who are on board the programme will receive the following resources and financial support to ensure environmental education starts young to nurture a generation of eco-conscious students:

1. Up to $800 funding per financial year to support eligible sustainability projects

2. ‘Go Green with Betty the Butterfly’ resource booklets (activity books and educator’s guide)

Preschools may also request the "Go Green with Betty the Butterfly" resource booklets without applying for funding, to support sustainability education and raise environmental awareness in early childhood settings.

Applications for the programme are open annually from 1 April. Approved projects must be completed by 31 March of the following year.
