Mindful Girls Foundations
For Girls Aged 6-8 years
Building emotional foundations through play and connection.
The early primary school years are filled with enormous growth. As girls begin to discover who they are, they're learning to navigate friendships, understand their emotions, develop independence and build confidence in themselves.
Alongside these exciting milestones can come worries, self doubt, perfectionism, friendship challenges and big emotions that can feel overwhelming for young minds.
Mindful Girls Foundations was created to give girls a safe, nurturing place to build the emotional skills they'll carry with them for life.
Designed specifically for girls aged 6–8 years, this small-group wellbeing program introduces emotional wellbeing through creativity, play, movement and mindfulness in a way that feels fun, engaging and completely age appropriate.
Rather than expecting children to simply sit and talk, each session is carefully designed to encourage learning through hands on activities, games, storytelling, art, gentle movement and meaningful conversations.
Girls leave each session not only with new skills, but with greater confidence, stronger friendships and a deeper belief in themselves.
What Will Girls Learn?
Throughout the program, girls will develop the foundations of positive mental health through engaging, age appropriate activities that help them:
-
Recognise, understand and express their emotions.
-
Build confidence and self belief.
-
Develop healthy friendships and positive social skills.

Manage worries and navigate big feelings.

What To Expect
Every Mindful Girls Foundations session is thoughtfully designed to be calm, engaging and age appropriate.
