Welcome to
Brainy Bunnies
At Brainy Bunnies, we understand the importance of Early Childhood development and the crucial role it plays in preparing children for success in school and beyond! We offer both School Readiness lessons (Pre-K) and Kindergarten to Year 2 targeted tuition in the comfort of your home within the Sutherland Shire of Sydney!
We personalise each lesson to your child based on their strengths and their specific learning needs or areas requiring further challenge. Our learning programs usually have a major focus on Literacy and Numeracy skills dependent on the goal of the session. The educator can also assist you in identifying additional areas of need before your child starts school, including speech development, gross and fine motor development, as well as language and communication development. We nurture each child to ensure they are growing into a well-rounded, confident child who is keen and enthusiastic to tackle all challenges ahead.
About Us: Meet the Educator
Welcome! My name is Mrs Nicole Dunkin, the director and educator at Brainy Bunnies. As a qualified primary educator, I’ve worked with children from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6 for over seven years. My expertise lies in Early Education, with my experience being the Head of Kindergarten for six years in the Independent School Sector.
For the past six years, I’ve been approached by parents asking for advice on preparing their child for Kindergarten. In 2023, this inspired me to start this business, focusing on providing personalised education in 1-on-1 or small group settings.
What sets us apart from larger tuition and school readiness businesses? I prioritise building strong and meaningful relationships with both students and parents - getting to know everything about the child, their interests and hobbies, their families and more. I pride myself in my flexibility, positivity, enthusiasm, relatability and sense of humor, ensuring all my students feel safe, secure and supported, and most importantly, that they have fun!
I emphasise hands-on learning tasks, as complimented with traditional pen-to-paper activities. I believe that high-quality early education is transformative, and my mission is to instill a love for learning, curiosity, discovery, and self-confidence in the children I work with.
