Fostering Wellbeing

Fostering security, self-worth, autonomy, self-competence, and joy in early childhood

The Fostering Wellbeing program is a series of 5 workshops that support early childhood educators to identify and respond to children’s needs and support children’s wellbeing. 

The program is based on the Phoenix Cups framework, which uses the analogy that we choose behaviours to fill a cup. When our cups are full (or filling), we have a strong sense of wellbeing.  

This program aims to teach educators practical strategies to support children’s wellbeing, increase the sense of fun and playfulness within educators’ programs, and ensure children have their basic human life needs met. The program uses activities, presentations, readings and resources to encourage educators to collaborate and reflect on current practice.
