    Early learning programs from six weeks to school age

    Mini Masterminds Thornleigh offers early learning programs for children from six weeks to five years. Each program follows the Early Years Learning Framework and is carefully adapted to suit the developmental stage of each child.

    What does my child experience in childcare?

    Our childcare Thornleigh programs are delivered across three learning stages.

    Nursery Program

    Six weeks to two years

    Our nursery program focuses on responsive care, comfort and predictability. Babies are supported by educators who understand early cues, routines and the importance of close relationships.

    Nursery spaces are designed to support sensory exploration, early movement and language development in an environment that feels calm and reassuring.

    Toddler Program

    Two to three years

    Toddlers are supported as they begin to express themselves, form friendships and explore independence. Daily experiences include music, storytelling, hands on play and problem solving activities guided by children’s interests.

    Clear daily rhythms help toddlers feel secure as they build confidence and social awareness.

    Prep School Program

    Three to five years

    Our Prep School program supports children as they prepare for kindergarten. Learning experiences introduce early literacy, numeracy and inquiry skills through play based and guided learning.

    The program has been shaped with input from a primary school teacher to help children transition smoothly into school routines and expectations.
