Mini Masterminds Waitara Centre overview
Mini Masterminds Waitara caters to Minis aged 6 weeks to 5 years with a nurturing, inclusive and high-quality learning environment. Working within the context of every Mini's unique needs, the educators get to know the children and empower them to pursue their interests. Our Minis also participate in a vast range of extracurricular activities to support their holistic development.
Inside, the spacious rooms are well resourced to suit different learning styles and activities. Our Minis enjoy a play-based approach to learning and have opportunities for spontaneous play along with experiences planned by the educators. From large and small group learning to individual time, our Minis are engaged in developing different skills.
In the outdoor play area, our Minis work on their physical and gross motor skills as they run, balance, jump, climb and crawl. They tap into their curiosity about the world and their sense of adventure for exciting imaginative play.
Located close to Westfield Hornsby and PCYC Park, the centre is a short walk to Hornsby station and multiple bus stops. Parents can also use the onsite parking for added ease. Why not book a tour of this diverse and welcoming centre today?

Mini Masterminds Waitara runs a range of inclusive extra-curricular activities, ensuring every Mini feels accepted and develops the ability to think, imagine and play freely. This includes:
Sports Program: For our Minis aged 3 and up, the centre offers the ‘Mini Champions’ sports program to develop fitness, self-esteem and confidence.
Language Program: Our Minis are taught languages from native speakers at the centre, further developing and strengthening their cognitive function and problem-solving skills.
Cooking Program: Our Minis can take part in fun and hands-on ‘Mini Chefs’ cooking classes, teaching basic cooking techniques, kitchen safety and making smart food choices.
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.
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: Some incursions include native wildlife and reptile visits, petting zoos, dentists visits and cultural exploration with visits from Indigenous artists.

A family owned and operated centre, the team at Mini Masterminds is also like a family. The educators bring a youthful energy to their work every day and are motivated to provide the highest quality education and care.

Parent communication and involvement
Parent communication and involvement
For convenience and instant connection, Mini Masterminds takes a digital approach to communication. The educators share photos and updates throughout the day in the centre’s secure app. Parents can access the photos from wherever they are and feel like they are part of their Mini's day. Parents can also speak with educators in person to discuss their Mini's progress.
About the curriculum
About the curriculum
In addition to the national curriculum, Mini Masterminds Waitara is proud to have developed a bespoke curriculum in consultation with well-regarded Early Childhood Teacher, Jacob Camilleri. The unique Prep School Program exposes children to the NSW Foundation Font and focuses not just on the Early Years Learning Framework but also the Early Stage 1 curriculum as well. By merging the Pre-school and Kindergarten lessons, the children will have a head start when it comes to their formal schooling.
The focus of the curriculum is on play-based learning. This 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, 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.

We are very happy to have found this place, particularly this branch!!!! Every teacher is reliable and genuine, no wonder my son had settled in very quickly and we are so very grateful.
