The Emotional Intelligence Program Childcare Centres Are Calling a ‘Game-Changer’

ELMA Education – A Preferred Supplier of the Australian Childcare Alliance

At ELMA Education, we know emotional intelligence isn't a luxury —it’s a foundation for lifelong wellbeing toward better mental health, emotional wellbeing and social and self awareness. As a preferred supplier of the Australian Childcare Alliance, we proudly offer a neuroscience-based Early Childhood Emotional Literacy Program that’s transforming centres across the country.

We believe that when children are taught to name, regulate, and express their emotions in safe, supportive environments, using our unique four modality system of play, art, colour and sound therapy, they don't just thrive in early education—they build the inner tools for lifelong connection, confidence, and compassion.

Why Early Emotional Intelligence Matters

In early childhood, the brain is undergoing rapid development. This is the ideal window for shaping emotional regulation, empathy, and resilience—skills that underpin future learning, behaviour, and mental health. Giving children at this age an essential tool that works, to regulate their emotions and resulting in calmer centres.

Unfortunately, many children are entering primary school without these critical capabilities. That’s where ELMA steps in—with a proactive solution designed for educators, and backed by evidence informed research.

The Research-Backed Impact

A recent study on the ELMA Early Childhood Program demonstrated:

• 56% increase in empathy
• 46% increase in self-management
• 48% increase in self-awareness

These results were observed in children under five, showing how early intervention leads to measurable and lasting outcomes.

And with dozens of centres already using ELMA—including Sagewood, Sparrow, Kids Academy, Montessori,  Mulberry Tree and more —the impact is already being felt in calmer classrooms, more resilient children, and empowered educators.

Let’s Raise a Generation That Makes Healthy Life Choices

This is more than curriculum—it’s a system of emotional transformation for children, teachers, and families. It meets children where they are, speaks to the science of the developing brain, and equips educators and parents with tools they can use every day.
