WHAT’S OUR 'WHY'?
On paper, Fun4Kids Festival is a not-for-profit event managed by the Warrnambool City Council, designed to attract visitors to the city and boost the local economy in the off-peak tourist season... But that’s not 'why' we do it.
The reason why our small passionate team is so dedicated to the Festival, is the kids!
Fun4Kids Festival offers children of all ages an escape from their everyday life and a unique experience that isn’t offered anywhere else in the world. They’re invited to play, laugh, learn and create in a fun and safe environment.
MARKETING, SPONSORSHIP and PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES:
Fun4Kids Festival offers unique marketing opportunities, not replicated anywhere else. For information on how you can get involved with the Festival, please contact us !
Jump Start Kids is a group of children’s sports and early years development programs dedicated to making a positive difference in children’s lives through movement, play and physical activity.
Established in 2016, Jump Start Kids has delivered programs across Australia, the UK and Turkey, including childcare centres, schools, after-school activities and holiday programs.
Our mission is to help children develop fundamental movement skills, confidence, coordination and a lifelong love of being active. We believe that learning through play is essential in the early years, which is why our programs combine sport, music, imaginative storytelling and creative activities to make movement fun and engaging.
Our programs include:
* Jump Start Kids: Fun, structured multisport and movement programs for childcare centres and young children.
* Mini Tots Soccer: Introducing young children to soccer through fun, age-appropriate activities that build skills, confidence and friendships.
* Sport in a Box: An interactive, story-led sports activity kit that brings movement, skill development and imaginative play into the home.
* Jump Start Kids Movement System: Our Early Years Movement System, providing educators with structured activities, creative missions and resources to develop children’s fundamental movement skills.
Across everything we do, our goal remains the same: to give children the skills, confidence and motivation to lead active, happy and healthy lives.
Learn through play. Build confidence. Love movement.
