INSPIRED Children- Nourish Program
'Play, Learn & Grow!'
A child-centred program supporting emotional regulation, confidence and wellbeing through creative play, sensory exploration, nature and animal connection.
🌈 Who the INSPIRED Children’s Nourish Program is for
The INSPIRED Children’s Nourish Program is designed for children aged 3–9 years who may be experiencing emotional, behavioural, sensory, or developmental challenges and would benefit from gentle, creative and individualised support.
This program is particularly supportive for children who:
