When a flower does not bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.

Testimonials

Whether you’re travelling on the road, have just begun your homeschooling journey or have been homeschooling for a while now, you are sure to resonate with at least one our  beautiful testimonials.

Little Minds Blooming helped my active 6 year old love learning. This program was the perfect medicine after a traumatic start to academics. The program is such a breath of fresh air among the overwhelming curriculums out there. LMB is filled with a diverse range of fun, creative learning activities that have seen my child flourish academically. If you’re looking for a homeschooling curriculum prep-year 2 that intertwines appropriate learning concepts that are *FUN* with real life knowledge and understanding then look no further. Making homeschooling as easy as we can literally engaging concepts at the grocery store or driving in the car. Can’t wait to dive into another Term with LMB.

I wanted to send you a message to say thank you. You don’t realise the impact you are having for kids who have never quite ‘fit the system’. All I ever wanted was *my little one to love learning, find an area where he felt proud, felt that he could really do it and he never got that chance in mainstream. He was the kid who got in trouble for not sitting or seeming to not concentrate because he was playing with a pencil. But now, I can say he loves learning, you’ve made him believe that he can actually learn and that he CAN do it. The way you have written your program is clear and easy to follow for me and him and the teaching videos have been life chaning. From a boy who would refuse to pick up a pencil to write to now writing compound and complex sentences happily and easily is something else. I am beyond proud of him but also proud of you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

-Angela, SA

We used Little Minds Blooming for Term 1 Foundation & Grade 2. It’s aboslutely fantastic with so many ideas for the guardian to provide a tailored learning experience both inside or out in nature. Also catering to make it easier or harder for the learner. Little Minds Blooming is so unique offering termly calls to discuss your child’s learning progress. This program is one in a million it’s not about box ticking it’s about creating learning experiences and enjoying being with the learner. Highly recommended. 

-Laura, QLD

I was recommended this program through someone we met on the road and it’s been a saviour! We dedicate an hour or so a day on ‘learning’ and our kids LOVE doing ‘Little Minds’ (that’s what they call it). They get excited to see what each week brings and love showing off what they learn through general stuff that we do like cooking dinner. We recommend this program to many families we meet now.

-Linda, QLD

We finally found an easy to follow homeschool program that supports my kids learning at their own pace. We choose to repeat certain weeks if we feel they need it and fast forward others if they are confident. Thank you for making our lives so much easier with your program Little Minds.

-Sal, WA

Deeply grateful for choosing Little Minds Blooming to support my boys learning. It’s easy to follow, everything is there and clearly linked to the worksheets throughout the weeks. I booked in a call prior to purchasing and Catrina was able to recommend the most appropriate program based on where my son was up to with his learning. Thank you for your attentive manner Catrina and we can’t wait to begin another year with you.

-Tracy, NT

FANTASTIC learning program for on the road. Easy activities when we’re at camp and the kids enjoy them, that’s what matters. Highly recommend.

-Ethan, QLD

I was recommended Little Minds Blooming through our Homeschool group and I’ll admit, I was skeptical. I didn’t want another program telling me what I ‘should’ be teaching but I was starting to feel lost and I needed something. I got in touch with Catrina and discussed what was happening and my concerns, she shared her recommendations and I purchased a term to test it out. To say I was blown away with the service and product would be an understatement. It was clear, concise and exactly what I needed. I felt a sense of relief and reassurance and ended up committing to a year and never looked back. Thank you for providing an incredible resource, we highly recommend.

-Mandy, QLD

I live remote AUS so getting quality, convenient schooling here can be hard. I reached out to Catrina to discuss our options and she recommended a program that worked with my daughter but also gave adivce on how to include my younger one (3 years old). We enjoy the activities in the program and how easy it is to follow. Thanks for a great resource.

-Hayley, WA

I love how much Catrina cares, her recommendations in our call was professional and in the best interest of the my kids. We feel lucky to have stumbled upon her website and be part of this community.

-Rachel,TAS

Everything is EASY and the activities are fun that my little ones forget that they’re actually doing school work. So much gratitude for Little Minds Blooming.

Will my child academically fall behind?
The beauty of teaching your child one on one is there’s very little chance of your little one ‘slipping through the gaps’. Mainstream classrooms usually have approx 1:26+ children ratio which is extremely difficult for educators to ensure every child is achieving all outcomes. As a homeschooling parent/carer you have control on:
  • how your little one learns – through the choice of learning styles that best suits them.
  • when your little one learns – through flexible timetabling.
  • what your little one learns – through the choice of many learning experiences.

You’ll become very in-tuned with your little one’s needs and you will know if your child is meeting/exceeding particular outcomes, requires repetition of certain concepts and/or additional support.

You as their parent/carer are their biggest and best teacher. Trust Yourself

Do your programs align with a curriculum?

Yes. Our programs align with the Australian Curriculum (ACARA) and apply to all states and territories in Australia.

Yes, please do! It’s important to check out our Free Trials  to ensure our programs align with you and what you hope to achieve for you and your little one. We provide Free Trials for Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2. See ‘Our Programs’ to download your Free Trial today!
