About Inspiring Minds Studio
Welcome to Inspiring Minds Studio, a nurturing and supportive institution located in Essendon, Australia. At our establishment, we focus on fostering the independence and confidence of children, helping them develop social skills, manage their emotions, and explore literacy and numeracy concepts through hands-on activities. Our goal is to strengthen their fine motor skills, introduce them to STEM concepts, and instill resilience while fostering a love of learning that will carry them through to school.
Our program is specifically designed for children who will be starting school next year. We understand the importance of preparing your child for school, which is why our curriculum focuses on crucial social and emotional skills, literacy, numeracy, and fine motor skills. We strive to build confident and independent children who will thrive once they enter school.
At Inspiring Minds Studio, children are immersed in an environment filled with sensory and educational opportunities, allowing them to explore and learn. We prioritize a range of social and emotional skills such as taking turns, sharing, listening, and following instructions. Additionally, we focus on developing both gross motor and fine motor skills, while also emphasizing literacy, numeracy, art, and STEM concepts.
Our superior preschool program has received rave reviews from parents who have witnessed the invaluable skills their children have developed. Not only do our activities assist in settling children into school and kinder, but they also cultivate confidence, curiosity, and the ability to take on challenges and self-evaluate their own learning and development.
Led by Kylie and her dedicated team, our engaging and highly effective program focuses on nurturing the "whole" child - mind, body, and soul. Parents have raved about their children's fabulous experiences at Inspiring Minds Studio, highly recommending it to anyone seeking supplementary learning experiences.
Parents have shared that their children loved their time at Inspiring Minds Studio, immersing themselves in a variety of wonderful activities. From creating and exploring to learning new things, our thoughtfully designed activities engage and stimulate young minds.
We are grateful for the opportunity to provide a unique learning space for children, helping to prepare them for school while offering ideas for continued learning at home. Our dedication to our students' growth and confidence-building has been praised by parents who appreciate the chance to have a few hours to themselves while their children are busy learning at Inspiring Minds Studio.
Please note that some activities may be messy, so it is advisable to bring a change of clothes. For our 3-hour drop-off classes, we kindly request that you pack a snack (nut-free), water bottle, hat, and change of clothes.
Each session at Inspiring Minds Studio is different, offering a range of activities that focus on fine motor skills, social/emotional development, literacy, numeracy, art, and science. Our sessions include a combination of structured activities and child-led exploration. We also focus on a different social skill, feeling, or emotion during each session, as well as a weekly letter focus that informs our activities. Furthermore, every session includes yoga and a science-related activity.
We firmly believe in developing the whole child, understanding that social and emotional preparedness is a vital element of school readiness. Through our structured activities, we aim to bridge the gap between kinder and school, helping children understand how a primary school classroom works. We introduce them to literacy and numeracy concepts while building their independence, confidence, resilience, and problem-solving skills.
We offer casual bookings if there is availability in a particular class, although most of our enrolments are term bookings, with classes often fully booked. If you join our waitlist, we will notify you if a spot becomes available for a casual class.
At Inspiring Minds Studio, we welcome all children, and each class is led by two educators. All of our classes are drop-off sessions, and parents are required to sign their child in and out from the foyer area.
If you provide us with 24 hours' notice, we will offer a make-up class that can be used during the term or the following school holidays, based on availability. However, if less than 24 hours' notice is given, the session will be forfeited. Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds, but you are welcome to transfer the remainder of the term to a friend or family member.
To enroll your child at Inspiring Minds Studio, simply head to the ENROLMENT page on our website and select your preferred class. Book and pay online, and make sure to fill out the 5-page enrolment form for new enrolments, either by emailing it or bringing it to your child's first session.
We kindly request that you pack a snack (no nuts or nut products), a water bottle, hat, and a change of clothes in a bag, along with any necessary medications.
Join us at Inspiring Minds Studio, where we strive to inspire and nurture young minds, preparing them for a successful journey through school and beyond.

Reviews of Inspiring Minds Studio
"Thank you With my youngest child off to school next year, this review is to say a massive thank you to Kylie and the team for the last four years. Both my children attended the thriving minds and growing minds classes over the last few years and I can honestly say that I don't think they would have been as ready for school as they were/are! In addition, with the first two years of my daughter’s schooling being at home due to COVID, this year she also participated in the reading and writing tutoring classes, with this additional support we can proudly say she is now exactly at the level she needs to be. Kylie is always there to offer support and guide you through challenges and your child's individual needs - and I truly appreciate the positive impact you have had on my kids. We will miss our weekly visits next year!"
"My daughter absolutely loves school holiday program at Inspiring Minds, but when I found out that Kylie and her team are offering tutoring I enrolled her without hesitation. As many other kids after a disrupted school year my daughter was struggling with reading. From the start of school year to now, I have a confident reader who’s performing well at school and absolutely loves books! Kylie goes above and beyond to accommodate every need and is always there to help with advice and guidance! Her experience and plethora of knowledge make tutoring classes a delight for kids! Thank you so much Inspiring Minds for everything that you do!"
"Cannot recommend Inspiring Minds Studio enough. Kylie is on the ball for everything. One step ahead of any other early learning facility always offering so many options to accomodate our kids - particularly during unexpected covid restrictions. My son Kristian has been attending the centre for 2+ years now and we will be so sad to leave for prep next year. But he is ready because of all the love and attention he has received from Kylie and the wonderful and caring staff who have nurtured him and taught him the skills he needs. Thank you will never be enough ❤️"
"My 4-year-old attended the online school holiday program and the Term 2 online “Growing Together” program and LOVED it! Kylie was warm and welcoming and was able to recreate the studio experience online, allowing the kids to feel a level of normality during the restrictions. Over the term, my daughter picked up on so many new skills, like how to hold scissors and her pencil correctly, plus her numeracy and literacy skills have improved tenfold. The extra activities were fantastic as they helped me to guide my daughter with her learning in our home environment. One of the highlights was seeing how much her confidence grew throughout the program. It was pretty special to be able to be present with my daughter’s learning but also take a step back and see how excited she is to be a part of a classroom. Thank you so much Kylie for all the fantastic work that you do, and we highly recommend your online programs- We only wish we lived closer so we could attend the centre!"
"My daughter attended Inspiring Minds Studio last year for the Thursday morning drop off session. She thoroughly enjoyed every moment! Kylie & Olivia are brilliant with children (both trained teachers). I've definitely noticed an increased ability in her handwriting & emotional maturity. I was more than confident my child started school this year having the skills/knowledge & confidence boost she received from attending. Thanks so much!"
