SUSTAINABILITY organisation Green Earth Kids are launching a children\u2019s creativity and wellness centre known as the Well in February.<\/p>\n
The space in Ballarat East is purpose built for children with wet areas, natural light, a kitchenette and off-street parking.<\/p>\n
Weekly eco craft and play sessions will be held on site as well as holiday programs and children\u2019s parties.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur values are really about being inclusive, creative, and collaborative,\u201d said founder Miree Hanock.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will also have that real sustainability focus so the whole thing will have no disposable or single use plastic and we will have a veggie garden and composting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ms Hancock founded the business which offers sustainability workshops and ecofriendly products four years ago.<\/p>\n
\u201cI started Green Earth Kids mostly because I am passionate about the environment and helping and inspiring people to look after the planet,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was a nanny for over a decade and in that time, I realised there is so much waste in raising children and entertaining children.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought there\u2019s got to be a better way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Th space is also being offered for hire to people or groups that run classes like yoga, meditation or mindfulness sessions, as well as children\u2019s music and art therapists, NDIS therapies and children\u2019s allied health specialists.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really want it to be this hub where the community can come in with children of all different ages and abilities,\u201d said Ms Hancock.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am looking for anything that\u2019s child related in allied health or complimentary services.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s beautiful space where people can come in and run their own classes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
