“ Neuroscience tells us that the first three years of life are crucial for a child's development. This is when neural pathways are wired, and when we have an opportunity to foster curiosity, connection, risk, and beauty in our children’s understanding of the world. ”

“ The arts provide a valuable avenue for experiencing our creativity and the wider benefits of arts engagement are well documented. At a personal level they include greater self confidence, an active imagination, a sense of belonging, empowerment, and improved wellbeing and educational performance. ”

Our 3 boys have thoroughly enjoyed this year in Bundoora - and as parents, we have loved seeing their confidence and skills grow and their end of year performances were simply outstanding!

Beginner OnStage & YABC Parent
“ Last night’s Beginners onstage performance was our first ever and I just HAVE to email you to congratulate you all on an incredible night. We loved it, [our son] had a wonderful time. To say we were happy, thrilled, delighted and convinced this was a great thing for our child to do would all be understatements! We were blown away, genuinely moved at times (Nothing’s going to change my world… OMG!!!) and just so very proud as the parents of [our son]... I just wanted to congratulate you all on what is clearly an enormous amount of prep. work, organisation and sheer professional commitment. ”
