Friendly people, not worth it experience
Friendly and talented people, but not worth it. Can do the same thing at home. Especially not for a 1 year old. The sessions are very short, and it’s a lot of just watching the teacher play music and sing. By the time you drive there, get the kids out, go in, sit, pack up leave etc. It’s a whole ordeal for not much value at all.

Hi EA, thank you for your kind words about our team, and for taking the time to share your experience.
You're absolutely right that many of the songs and activities in our classes are ones you can continue at home — and that's entirely by design! As you would have experienced, we also include percussion instruments, props, puppets and dancing in every class. Our classes are built to give parents and carers a rich repertoire of music, movement, and rhymes to weave into daily life with their little one. The class is really just the beginning.
What makes Mini Maestros different from singing at home, though, is the social learning environment. At this age, babies and toddlers absorb a great deal simply by watching other children and carers around them — they join in when they are developmentally ready, and that peer exposure is something that simply can't be replicated at home.
Our program is also carefully sequential. Our babies and young toddler classes are specifically designed to build an appreciation for music through unconscious learning activities, while also giving the primary carer the confidence to share music with their child at home. Every activity has been chosen with your child's developmental goals in mind — nothing is incidental. This foundation quietly builds the neural pathways that support language, listening, and emotional development, so that as children move into our toddler and preschool classes, the learning that was happening beneath the surface starts to become beautifully visible.
For our 1-year-olds, watching and listening is the learning. At this stage, young children absorb an enormous amount simply by being immersed in a rich musical environment with their carer close by. What looks like "just watching" is actually quite active from a developmental perspective!
We hear you on the logistics of getting out the door with a little one — it's no small feat! When we called to follow up on your trial classes, you'd said our venue was too far from where you live and it was too difficult for you to continue. We recognise that it is important to find a class that is simple to get to and fits around your little one's sleep schedule.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you'd like to chat further. 🎶🐝💕 Mini Maestros
Fun for kid and the parents too
Teacher (Shay) is very engaging, my daughter just loves her and the class. The children get to sing, run around and dance, very flexible but they also tend to follow the classes well.

The experience at Mini Maestros was wonderful. The teacher is sweet, kind, and always smiling. My son loved her from the first day. The activities last just the right amount of time, and the online classes motivate him to watch something educational on TV. Thank you for providing this wonderful space.

Disappointing
We were disappointed with the communication. Our sessions were cancelled a couple of times which was just bad luck but when we attended another session elsewhere, we hadn’t been told it wasn’t on that week - it’s hard work getting toddler twins out the door so that was frustrating. When we did eventually get to a session in Moonee Ponds, my autistic twins were pretty overwhelmed at their new environment and unfortunately the woman running the session was less than accommodating of that. We were made to feel like the “naughty” people of the group and subsequently left early, feeling quite dejected.
We were also required to bring our own instruments due to COVID, but on the day we forgot, there was no alternative offered. I think it was poor value for money based on that - so we won’t be signing up again.
We left before term end and were refunded a portion of what we paid.
EDIT: I don't think 'we're sorry you believe you were made to feel bad" is an appropriate response. My nanny came home feeling awful - so that's not up for dispute. I'm sure that was not your teacher's intention. Nonetheless, it was the effect she most certainly had, experience or no experience.
I also understand the concept of not sharing instruments during COVID, as I mentioned in my review. I suppose if you read between the lines I was in fact questioning the costs of the program, the obvious venue hire and program instructor wage aside.
Thankyou for suggesting at this point in time two adults come next time - I suppose my feedback to you on that note is that you mention that to parents of twins or higher order multiples in future, because it didn't seem to be an issue at the initial class in Ascot Vale. Bad luck to the girls for having working parents huh!
I hope that other parents and carers don't have the same experience we did.
Thanks for seeking our review Mini Maestros.

We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed and that your twins were unable to enjoy a class.
We are very diligent in our communication; all details regarding enrolments and classes (including cancellations and any class changes) are emailed as required once confirmed and records are kept on the student and class files within our enrolment system. We also have one on one communication in class with the teacher and also follow up after class for new students by phone.
After your twins had an unsuccessful first class at their first venue no arrangements had been confirmed with us to try an alternative class. Unfortunately the twins’ nanny brought them to Moonee Ponds without them being booked in and on the week before a class for the relevant age group was starting. Our teacher spoke with the nanny and confirmed with her that a suitable class would be starting the following week and that she was looking forward to seeing them then.
When the twins and nanny arrived for class the following week they were overwhelmed by the new environment. Your nanny did the right thing by standing to the side with them in the pram to allow them to observe from a distance and give them the chance to settle. But it became clear the twins were becoming increasingly distressed in the new situation without being able to be physically held and comforted as they adapted to the classroom environment. We are sorry you believe you were made to feel bad, but this was certainly not the case, and the circumstances of a child taking a while to settle are not uncommon. Our teacher spent some time talking to the nanny one on one while the rest of the class was involved in an activity. Our teacher suggested to the nanny that she might find things more manageable if she brought an extra adult along for the initial weeks so that each child had someone to provide physical support while they were familiarising themselves with the class experience. The teacher and the nanny both agreed it was apparent the twins were not going to be able to settle as things were.
We are taking our obligation to keep our classrooms safe under our COVID-Safe Plan very seriously and regret that this does mean that there can be no sharing of instruments.
We did provide you with a goodwill refund for all classes not attended, including the class when the twins left early in the lesson, due to the exceptional circumstances.
We understand that all children react to new situations in different ways and that clinginess or even some some tears is very common in the first class or two while children build confidence in the group setting. Our teachers have lots of experience and success helping young children settle in to classes and are used to assisting carers who bring more than one child. We are sorry that on this occasion that there wasn’t a successful outcome. We hope that in the future the twins can return, ideally with two adults for the first weeks, until they settle.

Review
Great sessions, however given we go to the Saturday morning sessions, it would be great if on days when the teacher is sick, an emergency replacement could be organised. This avoids multiple sessions being cancelled during the term.

Thanks for your comments about our classes at Ascot Vale, Rosie is a great teacher. In the difficult circumstances the whole community is in we are so grateful that we have been able to get back into the classroom in Term 2 (except for the short lockdown in Victoria and the complications brought by the restrictions easing but requiring reduced class numbers) and for the overwhelming support of our customers. Our COVID-Safe plan of course requires that anyone who is sick – including the teacher – can’t be in the classroom, and unfortunately we don’t have an unlimited supply of our highly trained and passionate teachers. We wish we did! The most important thing is continuity in the fun and learning for our students and that is why you received our Term 2 Online Course with your enrolment – for each Term this year we are having this in place as a back up. We are also planning a bonus in-person class with Rosie during the holidays. Everyone is learning to live with the current circumstances – however long they last – and we are doing the very best that we can to be there for our students. 🐝💕🎶Mini Maestros
