    A daycare in Merrylands designed for children and families

    Our daycare Merrylands centre has been carefully planned to support learning, comfort and connection. Indoor spaces are bright and inviting, while outdoor areas provide room for movement, play and exploration.

    Children use hands on materials, open play resources, quiet reading spaces and environments that support both energetic play and calm moments. Every area of the centre is designed to help children feel settled and secure.

    Families remain closely connected through our secure communication app, which shares daily photos, updates and learning highlights.

    Early learning programs from six weeks to five years

    Mini Masterminds Merrylands supports children through every stage of early childhood. All programs follow the Early Years Learning Framework and are tailored to suit each age group.

    What does my child experience in daycare?

    Our daycare Merrylands programs are delivered across three learning stages.

    Nursery Program

    Six weeks to two years

    Our nursery program focuses on gentle care, consistent routines and responsive relationships. Babies are supported by familiar educators who understand the importance of trust, comfort and early connection.

    Dedicated nursery spaces support sensory play, early communication and physical development in a calm and nurturing setting.

    Toddler Program

    Two to three years

    Toddlers are encouraged to explore their growing independence through play based learning. Daily experiences include music, stories, creative activities and early problem solving inspired by children’s interests.

    Predictable routines help toddlers feel confident as they develop language, social skills and self awareness.

    Prep School Program

    Three to five years

    Our Prep School program supports children as they prepare for kindergarten. Learning experiences focus on early literacy, numeracy, technology and inquiry based exploration.

    The program was developed with guidance from a primary school teacher to support a smooth and confident transition to school.
