Children's programs
Empowering children to make positive and healthy everyday choices to support their health, well-being, confidence and self-awareness.
Healthy habits developed from a young age are likely to last a lifetime.
Our highly regarded Mindful Me holistic well-being programs designed for early childhood services to educate and inspire children to develop strong values, and take responsibility for their health, well-being and the world around them.
These include awareness of developing a healthy lifestyle, maintaining positive well-being, self-regulation of emotions, resilience, caring for themselves, others and our environment.
Our programs are child-centred, stimulating and provides opportunities for enhancing and extending each child's learning and development. Supporting and promoting the dignity and the rights of each child.
The four pillars of well-being included in our Mindful Me Program are:
- Physical well-being
- Mental well-being
- Emotional well-being
- Social well-being
Children learn best through play!
Our programs stimulate children's learning and development through play.
Emotional expression and regulation, mindfulness tools and healthy eating are included in our activities to empower children with these important life skills!
Throughout the year, we introduce concepts that support children's learning such as dental health, kindness, education and cultural diversity.
Esmee is very inspiring with her positivity and passion for mental health and well-being!
Esmee supported our service in embedding quality strategies into our everyday practices to support holistic ways to support our children which displayed signs of anxiety, sensory overloads and emotional distress through the pillars of well-being. I am so grateful for Esmee and all that she has done for our service.

Esmee has offered programs to our children on a fortnightly basis since we opened in 2018. Esmee is such a bright and bubbly person to engage with and has been an asset to our service since the beginning. The children (and their parents) have thoroughly enjoyed participating in this program that teaches about healthy eating habits, physical activity and protective behaviours.

I love the content of the Start Healthy programs and the children’s engagement.
I believe it has an impact on the children’s learning and the positive response from them.
I would absolutely recommend it to other childcare centres and early childhood providers.
