Celebrating World Health Day – 7 April
At Kids Academy Early Learning, we believe that giving children the very best start in life means supporting their wellbeing every step of the way. This World Health Day (7 April), we’re celebrating the simple, powerful ways we help children build healthy habits - for life.
From fresh, nutritious meals to outdoor exploration and emotional guidance, our whole-child approach ensures that health, happiness, and learning go hand-in-hand.
Healthy Food, Happy Learners
Nutrition plays a key role in brain development, energy levels, and emotional regulation during the early years. At Kids Academy, our onsite chefs prepare healthy, balanced meals and snacks using seasonal produce, designed to meet the Australian Dietary Guidelines.
We cater to allergies and dietary requirements with care, ensuring that every child enjoys safe, delicious meals every day. Our educators also use mealtimes to encourage positive attitudes toward food and self-help skills like serving, pouring, and using utensils.
Explore our Healthy Menu & Nutrition to learn how we support children’s health through food.
Did you know? Children who eat a healthy diet are more likely to reach key developmental milestones and perform better in memory, focus, and language skills.
Movement That Builds Strong Bodies and Bright Minds
hildren at Kids Academy enjoy daily physical activity - from nature-based play to movement games, obstacle courses, yoga, and dancing. These activities help children build strong muscles and coordination, while also supporting their social skills and emotional wellbeing.
Our outdoor environments are purpose-built to encourage active exploration, imaginative play, and connection with the natural world. Every swing, climb, and run supports the development of healthy, confident children.
Yet according to the Royal Children’s Hospital, only 17% of Australian children under five meet the recommended daily physical activity guidelines. We’re proud to be part of the solution.
Supporting Social and Emotional Growth
Wellbeing is more than just physical - it’s about helping children feel safe, connected, and valued. Our educators build strong, trusted relationships with every child and family, providing a secure base from which children can explore and grow.
We support children’s emotional wellbeing through:
- Mindfulness and calm-down routines
- Emotion coaching and resilience-building
- Encouraging independence and confidence
- Building social skills through group play and discussion
These practices are embedded into our Lifelong Learning Curriculum, which helps children develop self-awareness, empathy, and emotional regulation from the very beginning.
Our Curriculum Supports the Whole Child
At Kids Academy, we understand that health and education go hand-in-hand. Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum - exclusive to Affinity Education centres - is grounded in research and designed to support every aspect of your child’s development.
From the foods they eat, to the way they play, to the relationships they form - your child’s wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do.
