There’s a quiet kind of magic that happens the moment my little girl picks up a brush, a pen, a texter as if her fingers already know how to tell stories before her words can catch up. She creates with this fearless joy, a gentle kind of confidence that only grows in a space where art is treated like a language not just a lesson. We sit side by side in paint-splattered bliss, and I see so much of myself in her, but with one beautiful difference: she is being encouraged, nurtured, believed in. Where no one once watered my early ideas, Mini Ivy offers her sunlight, space, and brushes dipped in endless possibility. Here, art is more than creativity… it’s connection, freedom, and the soft blooming of a child who knows her imagination matters. Thank you for giving her this world to grow in. 🌿🎨

"My daughter attends Mini Ivy two full days a week. Prior to joining Mini Ivy, she was enrolled in a center that closely resembled a school environment, with excessive structure and limited opportunities for imagination or creativity. In contrast, Mini Ivy provides a balanced approach, offering enough structure to foster creativity and imagination, all while ensuring a fun and engaging experience. My daughter also faces developmental delays in speech, and through art, she has found a unique way to express herself. The teachers at Mini Ivy are incredibly attentive and create an environment where she feels heard, valued, and supported. They are always welcoming upon our arrival and are more than happy to discuss her day when I pick her up. My daughter arrives with enthusiasm and leaves with the same joyful smile, which speaks volumes about her positive experience at Mini Ivy

We have had such a great experience with Mini Ivy. My 3yr daughter attends 2x full days a week and loves it. She is always excited to go and loves her teachers. The teachers are friendly, caring and supportive. Would highly recommend 👍🏼

Mini Ivy is a hidden gem for little people! All four children of mine absolutely loves attending classes at Mini Ivy. The environment is nurturing, inspiring, and full of colour. It’s clear that the team genuinely cares about encouraging each child’s unique artistic voice. Every session is thoughtfully planned, and it’s amazing to see the confidence and creativity that blossoms through their work. Whether it’s painting, drawing, or hands-on projects, Mini Ivy makes learning art fun and meaningful. Highly recommend for any parent looking to give their child a beautiful space to explore their imagination!

We can’t say enough good things about Mini Ivy! Our son James started there about two years ago, and wow, what a difference. He used to struggle with separation anxiety quite severely at drop-offs, but now he walks in with so much confidence, like he owns the place—it’s honestly amazing. The way they run things, with all the fun art projects and the kind, caring vibe, just clicked for him. The teachers are so patient and really get kids, helping them grow in such a natural way. James is so ready for whatever comes next, whether it’s school or just tackling new challenges, and we know Mini Ivy’s given him the perfect foundation. If you’re looking for a place that’ll set your kid up to shine, this is it!

My kids go to Mini Ivy twice a week and I honestly can’t speak highly enough about it. They’re absolutely thriving. The environment is warm, supportive, and thoughtfully structured! One of the biggest changes I’ve noticed is in my daughter. She used to be really hesitant to try anything new because she was afraid of making mistakes. Now she tells me, “It’s okay to make mistakes because it means my brain is growing!” That kind of mindset shift is priceless. We’re so grateful for mini ivy!

I Couldn't recommend Mini Ivy Art School enough! My introverted little one really struggled in social settings, but Mini Ivy was absolutely incredible in helping her transition, make friends, grow confidence, art skills & independence. She has come in leaps & bounds. ALL the facilitators are so patient, kind and genuinely nurturing to all the kids - what Valando has created alongside her colleagues is something truly amazing. Charli was recently asked what her favourite part of the holidays were. Her answer, ever so proudly: ‘ART SCHOOL’. *me: cries with pride*.

Mini Ivy is a special place, which really fostered my sons sense of pride and achievement. The smile on his face at pick up time told me everything I needed to know. He was in good hands, he was happy, and proud of what he had accomplished! Valando really took her time with his separation anxiety, and made us feel a lot more at ease :)

We have been with mini Ivy for 3 years now and the staff and program has been exceptional. Thank you mini Ivy team for taking care of my little ones and teaching them all things art and helping their little minds grow.

I’ve been sending my son to mini ivy for nearly a year and watching him grow has been incredible. He has gone from struggling to hold a pencil and not showing an interest in art and always giving up to now excited to show me his new creations each week. Watching him be proud in his work has been a joy. This place has taught my son to focus for longer periods of time, explore his creativity, work on developing skills and learn in a calm environment. The team is amazing and so kind. we can’t wait to send our daughter :)

I couldn't recommend Mini Ivy Art School enough. Kailee loves attending there sessions and getting creative. It was great that through the school holidays they also have sessions for older Kids so Levi was also able to go. I loved them coming home and showing me there art they did and telling me all about it.

Wow wow wow!!! I wish I knew about Mini Ivy when my child was a pre schooler. We had the privilege of attending a sip and paint party for the kids and it was a HUGE hit. The kids loved their assortment of fun drinks and the instructor led the children to draw unicorns which the kids got right in to! The venue is just gorgeous. The owner Valando is just the sweetest person. Your kids will love it there. Book your kids party there ! Such a fun day!

We were looking for a flexible program for our social (yet sensitive), busy and creative Pre-schooler to thrive and we struck gold with Mini Ivy! The staff's sincerity and passion shine through, and I feel confident leaving my child in their hands. It's also so much more than 'just' art, the social-emotional and motor skills my son developed in a short time is astounding. We love Mini Ivy! 💚🩷❤️💛

Mini Ivy is a fantastic art school that helps build the foundations children need for success at school. Through creative, hands-on activities, children develop essential fine motor skills, focus, and confidence - all in a fun and supportive environment. As a teacher, I really value the way Mini Ivy encourages imagination and prepares young learners for the structure and skills they’ll use in the classroom. Highly recommend!

Mini Ivy has been the best decision we’ve made for our 3 year old. She’d never been in care before so Mini Ivy has given her the confidence and tools to be away from our family (will be a useful transition come Kindy next year) whilst enjoying the fun and creative art activities organised by the amazing, kind and hard working teachers. I have noticed so many developments in my daughter’s confidence and social skills, as well as improved concentration and fine motor skills. My daughter looks forward to her Mini Ivy days each week. Thank you beautiful Valando and team 🙏
