Confident Kids Start Here: How Kids Academy Nurtures Emotional Wellbeing from the Start
Whether it’s a nervous wave at drop-off, a spontaneous giggle with a new friend, or the proud declaration of “I did it all by myself!” – the early years are full of emotional milestones.
At Kids Academy Early Learning, we know that these moments aren’t small – they’re signs of something much bigger: a child learning to understand themselves and the world around them. That’s why emotional wellbeing is an essential part of the quality education and care we provide for children aged 0–5.

The Power of Play: How Kids Academy Nurtures Foundational Learning in Early Childhood
The first five years of a child’s life are a time of rapid growth and discovery. Research shows that 90% of brain development happens before the age of five (Harvard University, Center on the Developing Child), highlighting the importance of early childhood development research in shaping lifelong learning outcomes., making early childhood a critical period for learning. At Kids Academy, we believe that play-based learning is the most effective way for young children to develop foundational skills. Our play-based approach ensures that children develop essential foundational skills in a fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate way.
This blog will explore what foundational learning is, why it’s important, and how our play-based curriculum prepares children for success in school and life.
Kindness in Action: Games and Activities That Teach Kids to Care
At Kids Academy centres across Australia, we believe that kindness isn’t just something we say—it’s something we do! Young children learn best through hands-on experiences, and what better way to nurture kindness than through fun and engaging activities? By encouraging kindness in everyday play, we help children develop empathy, teamwork, and positive social behaviours that will benefit them throughout their lives.
Kindness isn’t just about being polite—it’s about understanding emotions, helping others, and making the world a better place. Research shows that children who regularly engage in kind behaviours develop stronger friendships, better emotional regulation, and higher self-esteem. Plus, being kind makes us feel good too!
Here are some interactive games and activities to teach kids how to care for others while having fun.
