Kids Alive Program
It is with great pleasure that Childcare Queensland presents the Kids Alive Program as developed by Laurie Lawrence, as a program to be hopefully included in every room of Childcare Centres, Kindergartens, and all organisations that are working with children under five years of age. – both formally and informally.
We ask all Childcare Centres and Kindergartens to please include this program as an integral part of your Early Childhood Educational Program. The modules which follow have been prepared by Ms. Emma Lawrence and put into a format which meets the requirements of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) by Ms. Rebecca Bosher, and Ms. Hilary Webb, and we thank them for their assistance.
As well as these EYLF program outlines, a box of DVD’s of the “Kids alive – do the Five” will be made available for you to use – all you have to do is call or email the Childcare Queensland office (07) 3808 2366 or Freecall 1 300 365 325 email: info@childcarequeensland.com.au and we will send out the DVD’s to you.
The lives of our children are very important, and Childcare Queensland is very proud to promote Laurie Lawrence and his program to every Early Childhood Educator, Parent, and of course, all our children. With your help we can all help achieve Laurie’s goal of zero child drownings throughout Australia.
