We’ve loved our first term with Zee and mini Maestros! Our son has grown so much more confident in class and so many of the skills he’s learned there have been so helpful at home. Especially packing up and handing things back, learning how to stop and freeze has also been brilliant as we start to learn road safety. Plus all the dancing around home is super cute!
Zee is amazing with the kids and has been great at communicating any changes and when my son was sick she even offered he could attend make up classes.
We can’t wait for next term!

We love music with Zee!

My daughter and I have been doing music Mini Maestros with Zee for over a year now and we absolutely love it! My daughter looks forward to Thursday mornings and is so excited to grab her music bag and head on her way. She absolutely adores Zee and seeing all of her little music friends on a Thursday. She continues to sing the songs and do the dances all through the week and she even has her older brothers singing the songs she learns. The progression from the 1 year old class to the 2 year old class has been fabulous. The little ones are definitely given the opportunity to become more independent and they thrive by doing this.

We have done many other weekly activities with our children over the years but I strongly believe Mini Maestros is the best for so many reasons.

Warm and fun Musical Experience!

We have attended Mini Maestros since my daughter was 1 and love it. We couldn't be happier that Miss Zee (Zahide) has taken over the franchise. She creates a fun and engaging environment that has become part of our routine. Love watching my daughter evolve in the musical space. Thank you!

Very welcoming

Very welcoming and friendly staff that create a relaxed atmosphere. All children and their carers are well integrated and supported. My daughter enjoyed her time at Mini Maestros in Croydon, even though we were able to participate in only a few lessons. If we could, we would love to keep attending Mini Maestros :)

Session length is too short

Hi there, the training is good, however, session's length is really short, most sessions are actually held for about 20 minutes as to gather everyone or say good bye, take quite time.
Sessions are needed to be 45 minutes so at least there is half an hour of useful time for kids to worth the cost.
Thank you.

Hi Bb, Thank you for taking the time to review Mini Maestros and for your positive feedback about our training quality.

We'd like to explain our approach to session length, which is based on 40 years of expertise in preschool education. Our current session duration is specifically designed for optimal learning outcomes for young children. Research in early childhood development shows that preschoolers have shorter attention spans and learn most effectively through focused, age-appropriate timeframes rather than extended sessions.

The gathering and goodbye times you mentioned are actually valuable learning components – especially in the first 3 weeks of term. They help children develop social skills, routine recognition, and transitional abilities that are crucial for their overall development. These moments aren't "lost time" but rather intentional educational opportunities.

We've found through four decades of experience that longer sessions can lead to overstimulation and decreased engagement in young learners. Children need repetition and consistency within appropriately timed activities to truly absorb and retain musical concepts. Our current format maximises their attention and participation while ensuring they leave each session feeling successful and eager to return.

Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing Mini Maestros. 🎶 🐝💕

Michelle is amazing and interactive with all children, my son looks forward to going every week. As we know kids sleep can be very up and down, Michelle is happy and flexible for you to pop in other days that work out better.

We love the elements of music as well educational development incorporated in the program.

If you need something to do with your child highly recommend mini maestros, in particular the Altona north location.

Thank you for your kind review. It’s wonderful that you can to see the educational side of our program, we thrive in tailoring our program to suit ages and developments and yet whilst you are enrolled in a particular class we like to be flexible as possible as we understand the juggles required as a parent to keep up with your child’s developmental changes including sleep patterns. Looking forward to lots more music making with you both. 🎶 🐝💕 Michelle
