Meet Miss Sana, our Centre Director at Mini Masterminds Merrylands

"I bring over 18 years of experience in education, with the past 10 years focused on early childhood - a space I am truly passionate about.

My goal is to create a safe, nurturing and engaging environment where every child feels valued, supported and confident to be themselves.
Every child is unique, and I am committed to ensuring they are given the care, attention and opportunities they need to thrive.

Building strong, respectful relationships with families is at the heart of what I do. I look forward to getting to know you and working together to support your child’s learning, growth and happiness.”

Mini Masterminds believes innovation plays an important role in every child's development. Our inclusive extra-curricular programs encourage curiosity, confidence and a love of learning, with all activities included in the daily fee.
• Mini Champions Sports: For children aged 3+, building confidence, coordination and teamwork through active play.
• Mini Linguistics: Language classes led by native speakers to develop cognitive skills, communication and cultural awareness.
• Mini Chefs: Hands-on cooking experiences that teach kitchen safety, food preparation and healthy food choices.
• Mini Yoga Club: Weekly sessions for children aged 2+ that promote wellbeing, emotional regulation and mindfulness.
• Excursions & Incursions: Regular community outings and in-centre experiences extend children's learning beyond the classroom. From local park visits and community excursions to wildlife encounters, cultural experiences, petting zoos and visits from health professionals, these experiences encourage exploration, discovery and real-world learning.

As a family-owned and operated childcare, Mini Masterminds values strong partnerships with families and the wider community.

By working collaboratively with parents, we foster a welcoming and inclusive environment where every child feels a true sense of belonging. Through our OWNA parent communication app, families receive daily photos, learning updates and information about their child's day, including meals, sleep, toileting and key routines, keeping them connected every step of the way.

Families are actively involved in centre life through regular communication, special events and cultural celebrations, creating meaningful connections between children, families, educators and the wider community.

At Mini Masterminds, safety is at the heart of everything we do. We believe every child deserves to feel secure, respected and cared for - both physically and emotionally. 

Our centres go above and beyond regulatory requirements, with thoughtfully designed environments, CCTV monitoring throughout each centre, and glass viewing panels that provide greater visibility between learning spaces and amenities. Our educators also complete additional child safety and safeguarding training beyond mandatory requirements, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge and confidence to provide the highest standard of care.

We’re proud to work alongside families and educators to promote safe and positive early learning spaces where children can grow with confidence.
