How this product aligns with the EYLF

Encouraging wellbeing, comfort, and independence
The KN95 Face Masks serve a primary purpose of promoting health and safety within the early learning environment. By encouraging children to wear masks during specific activities or times, educators can foster a sense of security and comfort, allowing children to engage more freely in their learning experiences.

Supporting participation in learning environments
The use of KN95 Face Masks can help create an inclusive learning space where all children feel safe to participate. By normalising the use of masks, educators can support children’s understanding of health practices, thereby enhancing their ability to engage with peers and educators in a shared learning experience.

Relevant EYLF Outcomes
Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world.
Outcome 3: Children have a strong sense of wellbeing.
