We all know the early years in a child’s life are crucial for emotional development. Our Early Years Wellbeing Program is a tool for educators to support children in building their capacity to manage their wellbeing, now and in the future.
Having been delivered in 700+ early years services across Australia, our program uses engaging, practical and evidence-based strategies to build the foundation of positive mental health.
Our program is on the Victorian School Readiness Funding Menu and an option for Kindy Uplift Funding in Queensland.
Designed by educators for educators, our Early Years Wellbeing Program inspires and engages the whole service community through:
A suite of videos for children, professional development content for educators, and wellbeing webinars for educators and families.
20 sessions of fun & engaging activities and play-based provocations accessed via a dedicated online hub, and supported by individual children’s portfolios.
Our much loved Cozy Koala take home initiative and termly community projects to embed the GEM principles in your service culture.
A dedicated educator to provide year-round assistance in supporting the implementation of the program in your service.
To help children feel happier and build resilience, our Early Years Wellbeing Program is centred around the evidence-based principles proven to cultivate positive mental health.
Paying attention to the things we have right now, and not worrying about what we don’t have. We practise this by noticing the positives around us.

Families are children’s first and most important educators and that’s why we have opportunities for GEM experiences to be shared at home.
Cozy Koala is our take home initiative to support the connection between your early learning service and home. Cozy is made from 100% recycled materials and is 100% huggable. Arriving in a TRP backpack, Cozy comes with a GEM journal for each child to take home once during the year. When Cozy visits a home, families will engage in GEM experiences and children will have the opportunity to share their adventures with their peers.
Community Projects are designed to support the connection between your service and the wider community through the GEM principles. Children, families, educators and visitors are invited to participate in GEM activities. There are 3 Community Projects each year. We provide everything you need to successfully implement the projects in your service.
“We have started from the very first year this was introduced and have loved the constant improvements you’ve made to the program. Kinders love the colours which you have added to the journals and we love the new GEM TV sessions this year too. Needless to say Cozy Koala was the best addition and provided a lot of parent involvement.”
“Federation Children’s Centres are proud to have worked with The Resilience Project for a number of years to embed the Early Years Wellbeing Program into our kindergarten curriculum. With the birth to five years the greatest period for growth and development, teaching children emotional literacy and positive mental health strategies ensures that they have these foundation skills for life. Our teachers love the simplicity of the program and lessons which connects the GEM principles learnt at kinder to home. Cosy Koala loves going on adventures with our children and families to strengthen this connection. TRP also ensure our teachers and educators can put in place positive skills for their own lives.”
“The Resilience Project has been a fantastic tool for our Kindy kids. They have developed a deeper understanding of their feelings and regulation has become far more independent with the strategies and tools they have learnt throughout the program. Cosy Koala is a much-loved addition to our classes and the children enjoy coming back to kindy after the weekend and sharing with their friends all the fun adventure they have had. This has created many opportunities for building identity and connection for each child! It is so incredible for us as educators to feel so supported in teaching these challenging concepts with the use of the teaching resource book and the curricula links. The Resilience Project is an must-have project for us next year due to the great success and enjoyment it has bought this year.”
