Don't know where to begin, my Children have been coming to this mini masterminds from the very beginning and all i can say is if i could give more than 5 stars i would. The director is very easy to talk to and always ensures you feel listened to and heard. She goes above and Beyond for both the children and the parents. If you have any concerns she jumps on that concern instantly. Her response back to emails is incredible as well. I have never had an issue with my kids, i always got phone calls for the smallest things because they knew i was a parent that loved to know everything even though they didn't have to they respected how i was and i never felt more safe with my kids their. The staff are just all so nice and welcoming. In the 5 years of being their i have only lost 1 pair of socks and let me tell you that is incredible ! I love this Centre - Thank you Kirsty and the team for being amazing <3

Amazing centre! My son has been attending for over a year and a half and he is always so happy! The educators are all so lovely and go above and beyond to ensure all children receive the best care and that all families are satisfied. They provide great attention to detail and are very consistent with their documentation and clear communication of how your child went throughout the day I’ve never regretted my decision to enrol my son here, he’s thriving so much and the educators have spent a lot of time with him to support him to reach his learning goals! Mini Masterminds Glenwood has become like our second family ,I love that I can have a genuine conversation with the educators and I feel so much love and support from them if ever I’m having a rough day. There is no judgement and I can talk to them about anything! Miss Kirsty is a fantastic Centre Manager, I highly recommend this beautiful centre, please enrol your children here ☺️❤️

- Stephanie Chaplin

I cannot recommend Mini Masterminds highly enough. Kirsty and the whole team were incredible during what can be an emotional transition of starting day care. Within no time my son was making friends and running about, and absolutely loves his time there. Kind, nurturing educators and full of creative activities.

Programs

Programs

Mini Masterminds Glenwood sees innovation as a driver for development in our Minis. The extra-curricular activities encourage diversity and inclusion, ensuring every Mini feels accepted and develops the ability to think, imagine and play freely.

Sports program: For our Minis aged 2 and up, the centre offers the ‘Mini Champions’ sports program. This encourages our Minis to gain fitness regardless of their athletic ability, and helps build self-esteem and confidence.

Language program: Our Minis are taught languages by qualified and experienced language teachers, further developing, and strengthening their cognitive function and problem-solving skills.

Yoga program: Each week our Minis aged 2 and up will take part in 'Mini Yoga Club' at the centre. This practice is associated with learning, memory and regulating emotions.

Cooking program: Our Minis can take part in the ‘Mini Chefs’ cooking class, a fun hands-on class that encourages our Minis to experiment in the kitchen while learning about basic cooking techniques and making smart food choices. These classes will teach kitchen safety, food preparation and proper food handling practices. Mini Masterminds knows that our Minis benefit by learning teamwork and early maths and science concepts when participating in cooking activities.

Regular excursions: Our Minis can extend their learning outside of the centre by taking part in excursions. Some examples include the Easter Show and visiting local parks for a picnic day.

In-House Incursions: Special visitors to the centre can share a wealth of knowledge with our Minis, as they can learn, discover and explore new and exciting things. Some incursions include native wildlife and reptile visits, petting zoos, dentist and optometrist visits and cultural exploration with visits from Indigenous artists.

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

In addition to the National Curriculum, Mini Masterminds Glenwood is proud to have developed a bespoke Curriculum in consultation with well-regarded Early Childhood Teacher, Jacob Camilleri. The unique Prep School Program which was developed in consultation with him exposes our Minis to the NSW Foundation Font and focuses not just on the Early Years Framework, but also the Early Stage 1 Curriculum. By merging the Prep School and Kindergarten lessons, our Minis will have a head start when it comes to their formal schooling. 

The focus of the curriculum is on play-based learning, which ensures each Mini develops, understands, and takes responsibility at their own pace, capability and individuality. The individualised educational curriculum is based on our Mini's current learning and interests and is designed to further each Mini's growth and development. 

The centre’s programs allow for our Minis to move freely around the activities, making their own unique choices, while ensuring that all key learning areas are promoted and explored. The overall aim of the curriculum is to develop our Mini's independence, while fostering confidence in communication and learning.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

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.

Health & nutrition

Health & nutrition

Our Educators at Mini Masterminds Glenwood aim to help guide our Minis towards healthy eating habits that will help them maintain a healthy weight and good health in the long term.

Our menus are designed by nutritionist and mother, Gabriella Ratner, to include nutrient-dense meals created with the freshest ingredients, specifically selected for growing bodies. These menus allow for the inclusion of different cultural backgrounds and special dietary requirements of our Minis at the centre. 

The in-house chef prepares the meals throughout the day, with a four-week rotating menu. Our Minis are given hands-on experience with growing their own vegetables in the centre’s sustainability garden, to teach them about where their food comes from and to encourage them to try new things. Our centre also offers a private feeding room for breastfeeding mothers as needed.

We did not had good experience. Not recommended. When you do tour and orientation you feel like they are amazing but actual experience is different.

Worst experience ever they never check up on you if child had attended or not. Our daughter got sick as staff didn't follow her dietary requirements and also the higher management is so rude and not easy to deal with. Only good thing about this centre is facility apart from that nothing else… it’s an honest review……..
