Is your service a leader in physical literacy?


We’re inviting Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) services to be recognised as KIDDO Exemplar Services — a celebration of your commitment to embedding KIDDO into everyday practice.

Becoming an Exemplar Service shines a spotlight on the amazing work your educators are already doing, inspires your community, and positions your service as a centre of excellence in physical literacy.
