My First Exercise Program
Teaching small children about mental health.
My First Exercise Program gave early learners, children aged three to seven, and kids with special needs strategies to improve their mental health.
Our program used storytelling and play-based therapy to teach children therapy techniques to overcome emotional, “thinking”, and physical challenges. The program successfully turned our research into practice. We noticed a significant improvement when we compared children participating in the program’s first session with children in the final sessions.
We later designed The Magic Garden, a digital program powered by wearable sensors for at-home and school mental health training.
What families say about our “My First Exercise Program”.
“Adriaan is a quiet kid, but his confidence grew as he completed the exercises. It made me happy to see this. He looked much more confident after being rewarded at the end with his new character. My favourite bit was when he heard, ‘Without you, there would be no garden’. Adriaan looked very pleased by that.”

“It’s great to get the kids learning mental health skills at this age!”
