Mini Masterminds takes pride in partnering with parents during their child’s first childcare experience. Our outstanding nursery program provides a nurturing environment where infants explore, learn, and grow under the loving care of our educators. From tummy time to crawling and walking, every milestone is celebrated in our safe and engaging nursery rooms.

Program Features:

• Language Development: Encouraging enjoyable interactions and responding sensitively to babies' communication cues.
• Physical Development: Providing baby gym equipment to encourage exploration and gross motor skill development.
• Social Development: Fostering social connections and nurturing interactions through parallel play.

At Mini Masterminds, we make your child’s education our top priority.

Grounded on the knowledge that each child develops at their own pace, we have designed a dynamic curriculum centred around the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) – Belonging, Being and Becoming. Our early learning curriculum helps stimulate our children’s development by exposing them to various activities and following up on their individual interests. By encouraging our Minis to speak up and through embracing their unique ideas, we can help them grow into smart, confident and capable individuals.

At Mini Masterminds, we set ourselves apart by offering a unique and innovative Prep School Program which we developed in consultation with an experienced Primary School teacher, Mr Jacob Camilleri. Our special program exposes our Minis to the correct NSW Foundation Font and focuses not just on the Early Years Framework but also the Early Stage 1 curriculum as well. By masterfully merging their lessons in Pre-school and Kindergarten, we aim to prepare our Minis for their next chapter in life. We hope that by building this seamless transition, we can better equip our Minis with the knowledge and skills they need in their new schools.

It is this complete reinvention of what quality childcare is, and how it is provided, that truly makes Mini Masterminds different.

As a family-owned and operated centre, Mini Masterminds builds strong connections with centre families and the wider community.

By taking a collaborative approach with parents and the community, the centre encourages diversity and inclusion. This ensures that every Mini feels accepted and part of the Mini Masterminds ‘family’.

Parent feedback helps inform programs, which aim to build confident, independent and active learners. The centre invites families to drop in and speak to our Educators. Families also participate in special events and cultural celebrations throughout the year.

Philosophy: At Mini Masterminds, we transcend conventional early learning and childcare services. Embracing each Mini's uniqueness, we foster personal growth and development at their own pace in a secure, nurturing environment.

Total Wellbeing: Beyond cognitive growth, we prioritise holistic development, offering extracurricular activities like language and music therapy. Our personal chef provides five nutritious meals daily, ensuring physical health matches mental vitality.

Our Difference: What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to individual care, quality education, and genuine love guided by our core values. Innovation drives our program, ensuring each Mini excels, while diversity and inclusion lay the foundation for a journey of free thinking and imagination.

Values:

• Individual Care: Tailored support for each Mini's physical, social, cognitive, and emotional needs.
• Quality Education: A comprehensive curriculum fostering lifelong learning and smooth transitions into schooling.
• Genuine Love: Genuine care and interest in every Mini's wellbeing, always at the forefront of our actions.

CSR Approach: Through our "Make a Mark" and "Leave a Mark" initiatives, we honor the legacy of Mark Saman by positively impacting disadvantaged individuals. Inspired by Mark's dream, we provide essentials and support to restore dignity and bridge social disparities.

Sustainability: Leading by example, we prioritise sustainability by reducing our carbon footprint and instilling environmental consciousness in our Minis. Advanced features and recycling programs in each center enhance their understanding and appreciation of our planet's fragility.
