Wellness Programs for Early Learning, OSHC, Schools & Universities
Mindful fun that helps children thrive.
Karmably delivers gentle, animal-assisted wellness experiences for early learning centres, OSHC programs, schools and universities across Brisbane, Gold Coast and Melbourne. Fully managed, thoughtfully compliant and built around how children actually feel.
Research shows animal-assisted interactions in education and OSHC settings can reduce stress and anxiety in children by up to 30%. That means calmer classrooms, more focused students and educators who aren’t managing behaviour on top of everything else.
80+ education providers across Australia trust Karmably. Including Griffith University, University of Queensland, University of Melbourne, Monash, QUT, YMCA, Catholic Early EdCare and TAFE.
Movement, calm and connection. Your way.
Each program runs on its own, or combine three children’s sessions into a full Wellness Day.
A playful, inclusive session that helps children move, build confidence and learn simple tools to calm their minds through movement, breath and imagination. No experience needed. No pressure to be good at it.
Includes: Certified yoga instructor, yoga mats and pillows, affirmation cards to keep.
A fun, high-energy group session that gets bodies moving. Simple bodyweight exercises build strength, coordination and teamwork, inclusive of every fitness level. This is the one that burns off the energy and channels it into something productive.
Includes: Certified PT instructor, PA system and mic, co-facilitator for 21+ children.
A supervised, animal-assisted experience where children meet friendly puppies or goats in a calm, safe space. No rushing, no overstimulation. Children approach at their own pace, building connection, joy and gentle emotional regulation through guided interaction.
Includes: Certified animal handler, white-fenced animal area, sanitiser and cleaning station.
Gentle, guided yoga paired with the calming presence of puppies or goats. Children stretch and breathe in a relaxed setting that supports focus and regulation. Our most popular education program. The combination of movement and animals creates a session children ask for again, term after term.
Includes: 9 to 10 puppies or goats, certified instructor and handler, event manager and floor crew.
Our flagship rotation program. Children move through three 45-minute rotating stations: PT session, kids yoga and pats and play. The rotation format means nobody waits too long, nobody gets overwhelmed and every energy level is catered for.
Partnering with 80+ education providers across Australia
From small community kindergartens to large Catholic early learning networks, YMCA programs, OSHC centres and university student guilds. We work with education providers who want genuine wellbeing outcomes for their children, students and staff.
Our education wellbeing programs are trauma-aware and neuro-inclusive by design. They are facilitated in age-appropriate ways, delivered by trained professionals who understand education settings, and grounded in ethical animal care. Every experience is designed to be low disruption, high impact, and respectful of the realities of schools and campuses.
We understand risk assessments, duty of care, supervision ratios, inclusivity requirements and engagement outcomes, and we design experiences that work within those constraints rather than against them.
Premium delivery, every single time
You’ve probably run wellbeing programs before. Some looked great on paper but fell flat. Some created more work for your staff than they saved. Some unintentionally excluded the kids who needed it most. Karmably does this differently.
Quality first
Premium delivery and beautiful, considered presentation at every event. This isn’t a petting zoo in a car park. It’s a genuine wellness experience designed for children.
Personal customer service
Attentive, warm and memorable. From your first enquiry to the final pack-down. You’ll deal with real people who know your centre by name.
Reliability you can plan around
We arrive on time and fully prepared. Every single time. Your staff can plan their day knowing the setup is handled.
Relationships for the long term
We partner with you for the long run, not just a single booking. 10% off monthly bookings because we want to be your go-to, term after term.
Compliance handled for you

Early learning is where emotional regulation and empathy begin. Our early learning sessions focus on calm, curiosity and gentle sensory engagement. Experiences are designed to support emotional development while modelling safe, compassionate interaction.
These programs are suitable for early learning wellbeing days, educator appreciation events and family engagement mornings. Outcomes often include reduced overstimulation, improved confidence, and calm shared experiences that feel safe and grounding for both children and educators.
Children engage most when wellbeing feels like play rather than instruction. Our primary school wellbeing activities combine movement, mindfulness and ethical animal-assisted interaction to create positive emotional experiences that children genuinely enjoy.
These programs work well for ASC and OSHC programs, school wellbeing weeks, holiday care and reward days. Schools often notice improved peer connection, positive behaviour reinforcement and meaningful screen-free engagement.
Adolescents value authenticity and autonomy. Our high school wellbeing programs are designed to reduce pressure, support stress regulation and create safe spaces for connection without forcing vulnerability or emotional disclosure.
These programs are well suited to exam stress relief, Mental Health Week initiatives, leadership days and peer connection programs. Schools consistently report lower visible stress levels and higher voluntary participation from students.
University wellbeing initiatives need to be accessible, visible and genuinely restorative. Our university activations are designed to be drop-in friendly, easy to attend and highly shareable, while still delivering meaningful wellbeing outcomes.
These experiences work particularly well during orientation weeks, exam periods, Mental Health Month and staff wellbeing initiatives. Outcomes include increased student engagement, strong on-campus visibility and positive associations with wellbeing and care.
