Why It Matters

Planning. Documentation. Ratios. Budgets. Compliance. Big feelings in Kinder — we hear you. The simple is solution.

Around 14% of Australian children experience a diagnosable mental health condition in any 12-month period, with patterns often established in early childhood.1

Mindful Monkies takes a preventative, community-wide approach — building ecosystems of resilience that support educators, children and families, together.

Our Approach

The 3Cs Framework

Story-led, hands-on and engaging — every session uses storytelling, puppetry, movement and sensory play to bring three developmental pillars to life.

Calm

Self-regulation, body awareness and attention — the foundation skills that let children notice what they're feeling before it takes over.

Compassion

Empathy, kindness and fairness — building the prosocial skills that shape how children treat themselves and each other.

Confidence

Self-expression, courage and independence — including a dedicated school readiness focus for four-year-old groups.

What We Offer

Three ways in, one framework.

4 weekly sessions delivered directly in your kinder rooms. We model co-regulation strategies in real time alongside your educators — turning daily transitions into calm, predictable spaces.
