Abstract

This study discusses on the best practice of Cikeas Nature School (Sekolah Alam) in applying an environmental care program for early childhood classes at Cikeas Bogor. This study is important because Sekolah Alam Cikeas has been considered as one of the similar school which is successful in carrying out this program. As far as I have searched, I do not find yet another researcher focused his or her study on this issue at the this site. Deploying descriptive-analytic method, this study discusses on how Sekolah Alam Cikeas came to this level of best practice in developing an environmental care program. The study finds is an educational institution that focuses on character building. Character building in Sekolah Alam Cikeas starts from an early age by implementing habituation programs. Environmental care program early on is seen as an effective and efficient strategy to shape children's character. The eco-friendly culture that has become a habit and is consistent with the Sekolah Alam Cikeas has become a positive value that continues to be developed by the school. The development carried out by Sekolah Alam Cikeas is by fostering empathy for the environment taught from an early age. Early on children have been trained to care for the environment by building habits from the smallest things such as conducting ant operations, sorting garbage, and prohibiting the use of food packages made from materials that are difficult to decompose. This is an important agenda for the Cikeas Nature school in an effort to preserve nature so that it becomes a trendsetter in various fields and is able to inspire others.
