About Us
What is Emoji Kids?
At EmojiKids Therapy and Learning Hub, learning and development are at the heart of everything we do. Our passion lies in helping children unlock their full potential by guiding them through personalized growth journeys. We focus on developing essential skills, techniques, and study habits to support each child’s unique needs.
By approaching learning from a neurodevelopmental perspective, we address any challenges children may face, ensuring they have the tools to thrive. Our ultimate goal is to see them flourish—growing stronger, building resilience, and overcoming obstacles with confidence. Our slogan, "Learn, Grow, Flourish," captures the essence of what we believe in: a path of continuous development, empowerment, and self-improvement for every child at EmojiKids.
About Nastasha
I am a Registered Counsellor and ILT practitioner, recognised for my compassionate nature. With a deep passion for child development, I am dedicated to empowering children by providing them with the tools and skills they need to thrive and reach their full potential. I view children's growth much like a seed turning into a beautiful plant—when nurtured in the right environment, a small root begins to emerge, grow, and eventually bloom. My goal is to help every child I work with become the best version of themselves.
