Creative Arts Program
At Mini Mates Dural, we believe creativity is an essential part of early learning. Our Creative Arts Program is designed to nurture imagination, self-expression and confidence through hands-on experiences in drawing, painting, crafting and more.
By exploring creative arts in childcare, children not only develop important fine motor and cognitive skills but also find joy in creating something that is entirely their own.

Encouraging Imagination Through Art
Art in childcare plays a powerful role in helping young children make sense of the world around them. Our program offers a variety of open-ended experiences that allow children to express thoughts, emotions and ideas through visual mediums.
From colourful painting sessions to imaginative collages, we offer meaningful childcare art opportunities that foster emotional growth and communication.


Inspiring Visual Art Activities in Childcare
Our educators plan engaging visual art activities in childcare that are developmentally appropriate and designed to spark curiosity. Children are encouraged to explore textures, colours and shapes using a range of materials in both individual and group settings. These activities build focus, coordination and confidence—skills that extend beyond the art table into everyday learning.
Creative Expression for Every Child
At Mini Mates, we recognise that every child expresses creativity in their own unique way. Our personalised approach to childcare art ensures that toddlers and preschoolers alike feel empowered to explore their ideas freely. Whether it’s through painting, clay modelling or paper crafts, we provide art activities for toddlers in childcare that celebrate creativity and support each child’s learning journey.

A Safe, Supportive Setting
Our purpose-built learning environments are designed to inspire. With dedicated art spaces and access to safe, high-quality materials, children are given the tools and freedom to explore without limits.
As with all programs at Mini Mates, safety and supervision are top priorities. Learn more about our facilities on the Our Centre.
