Our daughter has absolutely loved her time at mini ivy they are ao warm and welcoming and shes learning soooooo much!!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first heard about this amazing place through friends, and I’ve been so impressed ever since. It has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere and an incredibly positive vibe. The educators genuinely care about the children and consistently encourage creativity, confidence, and a growth mindset. Seeing these values modelled every day has allowed our little one to truly flourish both artistically and within herself—she absolutely loves her time at Mini Ivy. Thank you for creating such a beautiful place.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ever since my son started attending Mini Ivy, he has more confidence, more independence, his language has improved, his creativity at home is through the roof :-) He’s even listening and following directions more (which we struggled with for a while at home). My only regret is not registering him a long time ago! Everyday he wakes up wanting to go to Mini Ivy, even on weekends! I couldnt recommend Mini Ivy enough!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mini ivy has been the best thing ever created for my children. They now have confidence and love art and all that mini ivy has taught them. We thank you for all that you do for our kids, the amazing teachers and assistants. Mini ivy is a wonderful program, we will always hold close the mini ivy growth mindset values!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our daughter attends her weekly art class and thrives. She has been welcomed whole heartedly, built a beautiful rapport with her peers & educators and feels a sense of belonging whilst gently learning in a structured environment. It’s a highlight of her weekly co-curricular routine. The masterpieces she brings home all tell a wonderful story. All expressive & with love. We love hearing about all the Mini Ivy philosophises repeated at home. Thank you for allowing our little one to be just as she is, creative, little and sprinkling magic.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mini Ivy is amazing, there are no words for what these girls are doing. There are endless benefits of children’s learning through art - it has encouraged my daughter to be more confident and proud of herself. If you’re thinking about it, stop - just do it. You won’t regret it, it’s so beautiful. I love what she comes home with.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mini Ivy Art has been the best thing for my son! He was so anxious to leave me for the first time ever and they put a mini plan in place to help him feel comfortable and now 6 weeks later the first thing he asks me in the morning is if he is going to Mini Ivy. I cannot recommend them more. We have noticed a big change in our son 😊Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughter absolutely in love with this art school!She attend full day and love it. Emily became more calm and confident. Can focuse and concentrat during her tasks and not scare to do mistakes..It was the best decision! Can't recommend more😍Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. 🌿🎨Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. "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 IvyVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
