Our mindful start program was created by a team of highly experienced early childhood educators with over 30 years of combined expertise under the Learn Play Thrive umbrella. Inspired by their real-life experiences in the early childhood environment, as well as their qualifications as children’s yoga instructors, they developed a unique course that integrates mindful movement principles into Early Childhood Education. By blending these two practices, we aim to provide a program that not only supports the Early Years Learning Framework 2.0, National Quality Standards, Principles, and Practices, but also incorporates mindfulness and self-care into the Early Childhood Pedagogy. We believe that this holistic approach will benefit children by fostering their overall well-being and promote a positive learning environment.
