Co-owner of Cool Kids First Aid Natascha Mazurek and first aid trainer Rebecca Lang ran a program at the kindergarten on Tuesday aiming to teach the children how to save lives.
Teacher Jo Barron said the children learnt how to recognise an emergency, put adults into the recovery position and bandaging techniques.
"The program is fantastic and very interactive," she said.
"The children were even able to recall the information at the end of the program."

Mrs Mazurek said she recognised a "need in the community to teach children what to do in an emergency".
"We have taught children from kindergarten to grade 5 and even sporting groups and mothers groups and we are overwhelmed by the positive feedback," she said.
Ms Barron said educators learn first aid every year.
"I believe more children should have the same knowledge," she said.
"I feel confident because the children loved this program so much, they will take home the information they have learnt and share it with the parents."
An emergency kit was left for the children.
