1 Hotels, a new socially responsible hotel chain with locations in South Beach Miami and New York, has launched a children’s program called Seedlings. Not only does the program connect your children with their natural surroundings, but it also takes a fun, hands-on approach to teaching them how important it is to take care of the environment.  It is currently available in Miami for children ages 4 to 12 at Basecamp, an indoor play area with a mini rock climbing wall, as well as craft and creativity stations, or they can head to the hotel’s beachfront for hands-on projects, including making a bird seed feeder and creating seashell art with nature-friendly materials and shells from the beach. 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach also provides kids with tents to build in their guestrooms, board games and in-room movies. On select dates throughout the year, children are able to learn about solar and wind energy, and participate in hands-on learning on marine life through a partnership with the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science. At the 1 Hotel Central Park in New York, parents staying with infants and small children are greeted with an organic stuffed bear and a 100 percent GOTS certified organic cotton rattle, plus Bambini Boutique brand shampoos, lotions and soaps, which are made from natural ingredients. Guests with newborns are given a dye-free, chemical-free In2Green baby blanket. Older children, staying in select suites, receive a solar-powered lantern and a sleeping bag to camp out in their room.
