About The Growing Mind

Built on 30 years of helping children find their path ...

The Growing Mind was founded on a simple conviction: every family deserves the kind of expert, personalised guidance that changes outcomes — for a child's entire relationship with learning.

Nadine Primerano

Founder & Lead Consultant

Nadine has built a career defined by patience, connections, and a deep understanding of child development. She brings a wealth of knowledge, warmth, and unwavering dedication to every child she supports.

In her more than 30 years within the private and public education systems, she has supported countless children and parents through academic challenges, social-emotional growth, major transitions, and experiences of neurodivergence. Now Nadine brings this expertise into her work as an ADHD consultant. Her mission in starting The Growing Mind, is to support students, parents and educators in developing strong foundations for learning skills and habits, as well as a genuine love of learning. Her goal is to help create an environment where curiosity is encouraged, strengths celebrated and every learner feels seen and capable.

"My approach is direct and evidence-based, but also specific to your child. I don't believe in vague reassurance or one-size-fits-all advice. I believe in understanding your child, and building a strategy around who they actually are."
