We developed our unique Empowered Children’s Program in 2018 in response to an increase in children displaying developmental, emotional or social delays. Through our program, children are respected for being authentically themselves and supported in a way that welcomes their differences.
Our Empowered Children’s Program promotes confidence and security, building communities of understanding, inclusion, and respect.
We must give today’s children tools and strategies to navigate an increasingly complex world - which is why our Founder created the first Qigong for Kids program in 2018.
We practice the ancient meditative art daily in our classrooms and have seen children grow in confidence, creativity, patience, empathy and a general positive flow to routine.
Our emergent curriculum works through the four developmental domains - cognitive, language and communication, physical, social and emotional - underpinned by the National Quality Standards (NQF) and Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).
Through our interactive Story Park Platform, we document children’s interests in partnership with parents and carers. Children become more deeply invested when inspired by topics they connect to, and their sense of value and self-worth grows when their ideas are supported.
We construct environments rich in meaningful resources and sensory experiences to encourage enquiry and curiosity, supporting children in testing theories and formulating ideas about the world around them. Children can access various interactive areas, including construction, music, art and role-play, and quiet areas for relaxation. Fresh air, an abundance of light, and natural textures create a calm space that’s open and inviting.
Children who eat a balanced, healthy diet full of brain and body nourishment improve in focus, memory, mood and energy level. We provide a plant-based nutrient-rich diet to power through a busy day and fuel growing bodies.

Children grow and learn through interactions with others, sharing ideas and building on theories and concepts. We start our day as a community of learners sharing our space, ideas, and individual experiences.
Our wholesome, plant-based diet helps children grow, learn and stay alert.
Each day we come together to build a conscious community, feeling empowered by sharing and manifesting our intentions for the day ahead and beyond. Children grow confident and feel valued when their ideas are welcomed, visible and supported.
Play is a young child’s work, and our natural environment provides unlimited resources and opportunities for children to extend their learning. By interacting with natural resources in real-world experiences, children’s learning takes on real meaning and context.
Based on our observations of the children’s interests, our educators plan provocative and inspiring educational experiences that challenge children to explore new theories and ideas using all their senses across all developmental domains. We continuously build on children’s learning, arming them with new skills, strategies and tools to apply to future learning experiences
Our proudly unique Qigong for Kids program, created in 2018 by our Founder, and the first of its kind in Australia, supports children with tools to navigate their day with confidence, intention and empathy.
A hearty and healthy rotation of vegetarian meals where children are encouraged to get involved and support the preparation. Time for rest/meditation and stories provides children with the space to re-energise and re-centre.
A continuation and extension of the morning’s experiences and/or the introduction of new experiences for the days ahead.
Being mindful of healthy practices, mid afternoon we offer a nutritionally balanced and delicious snack.
The link between cognitive development and movement is well established – children need to move so they can learn. An educational program rich in opportunities to move supports children at a time when their brains are developing faster than at any other time in their lives.
A peaceful end to the day where our community of learners reflect on what they have learnt. They feel empowered by sharing their experiences and learnings.
Closing our day as one community of learners allows us to reflect on what we’ve learnt and where we wish to go. Again, children feel respected and valued, having their ideas and reflections heard and acted upon during future learning experiences.
Empowered children who feel valued and respected gain the confidence to positively impact their future and ours. With our beautiful 60-place centre on Victoria Avenue in Toukley and a brand-new centre soon to open in Turramurra and Castle Hill in 2024.
