    Families stay informed and connected through our secure communication app, which shares updates, photos and learning moments from the day.

    Learning programs for children from six weeks to school age

    Mini Masterminds Rockdale supports children through every stage of early childhood. All programs are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and tailored to suit children’s developmental needs as they grow.

    What does a day at daycare look like?

    Prep School Program

    Three to five years
