Well-Being: The Heart of Early Childhood Development

At Informed Early Years, well-being is the foundation of everything we do, especially in today’s post-pandemic world. For young children, well-being isn’t just about physical health—it encompasses emotional, social, and psychological growth. When we prioritise well-being, we’re fostering the development of secure relationships, a sense of safety, and the joy of learning.


"getting well-being RIGHT, from the start, is critical"


In these crucial early years, well-being is the key to building resilience. The disruptions caused by the pandemic have highlighted how essential it is to create environments where children feel safe, happy, and like they belong. Well-being directly impacts their ability to form meaningful connections, explore their surroundings, and develop key life skills.


By nurturing well-being, we support not only children's happiness but also their cognitive development. Children learn best when they feel safe and valued, and creating environments rich in care, empathy, and understanding allows them to thrive. It's about growth, development, relationships, and ensuring children have the emotional tools to navigate challenges.


But well-being doesn’t happen by chance. It’s a shared responsibility—parents, caregivers, educators, and communities all play vital roles. Together, we can create spaces where every child feels seen, heard, and supported, allowing them to develop into resilient, capable adults. By embedding well-being into early childhood practices, we set the stage for lifelong success.


For parents, professionals, and organisations alike, getting well-being right from the start, is critical. At Informed Early Years, our mission is to equip you with the tools to make well-being the cornerstone of your approach. Whether through creating trauma-informed environments, promoting mindfulness, or using relational behaviour strategies, our aim is to ensure children’s emotional and social development is supported at every stage.

Together, we can make a difference.
