Abstract

The infant education centre Ding-Dong since 1983 –that inaugurated its first infant centre– and now at present –with the Quality and Environmental Certification– continues to be faithful to its pedagogical ideology “the future of the social and environmental economy depends on the quality of the education in the first years of life (0-6 years)”. This quality needs to be reinforced and complete don a daily basis and advance towards a sustainable management. To elaborate a report of sustainability is without doubt, an excellent reference of quality and gives a wide credibility of the educative centre. The transparency of the sustainability of the activities of the organisations has a priority of interests for a wide range of interested groups, amongst which are included the educative organisations. One of the most important objectives that sustainable development holds is the demand for innovative alternatives and new ways of thinking, something that should be inherent in any entity which dedicates itself to teaching and training. The present article manifests that the management of the sustainable educational centres have to set up the priority objective of any advanced educational policy.
