Originally known as YogaBugs North East, Calm4Kids Eltham has been in operation from the first days of the UK program arriving in Australia.
Many things have changed since 2009, including children, parenting styles and technology, but some of the key features remain the same. Children still love to be silly, and have fun while they learn, and Kaye and her team, are still working in preschools and schools across the north east suburbs of Melbourne, throughout the school year.
The storytelling model continues to be the key to the success of the program. Children readily engage their imaginations and become immersed in the story. All the while using their bodies, and learning skills to manage their emotions. Week after week, they build and extend their strength and flexibility, and their ability to regulate their breathing to manipulate their parasympathetic nervous system.
Working with young children is a joy and working within the preschool and school settings, with a partnership approach is enormously rewarding!

To help our busy brains become quiet, we need to breathe slowly in and out with our noses.
