Our approach to early learning is FRESH, PROGRESSIVE, BALANCED, NURTURING and based on the premise of inspiring a generation of mini thinkers.
CURRICULUM
Our curriculum is divided into 20 unique LEARNING DOMAINS. Each LEARNING DOMAIN encompasses the latest early childhood research and has been structured to include intentions, outcomes and age appropriate progressions all of which are integrated across a range of experiences. Examples of LEARNING DOMAINS include Creative Thinking, Number Concepts, Letter/Word Recognition, Technology, Gross Motor Skills, Life Science, Dance, Geography, Problem Solving and Music.
MENU
We believe that every child deserves to understand how nutritious food helps them to feel good and be full of energy and happiness, so we teach them all about what they eat. We also believe it is important that we consistently expose children to a range of colours and textures so they learn to appreciate a variety of different flavours. At Mini Thinkers we don’t hold back when it comes to ensuring our NUTRITIOUS MENU is wholesome, varied and full of goodness.
COMMUNICATION
Effective communication is paramount to positive experiences for both children and their families so we provide daily updates to enable you to share in your child’s progress and experiences. By providing up-to-date information we can proactively engage with families to create positive partnerships that support each child’s learning and development.
COMMITMENT
We recognise that the physical, social, emotional and intellectual development of children is enhanced through experiencing a variety of opportunities. We also understand the importance of an individualised approach to learning so children feel valued, nurtured and encouraged, and where experimenting, risk-taking, collaborating and intrapersonal tasks are supported by passionate and highly-capable educators. We are unequivocally committed to ensuring Mini Thinkers is where each child will discover and realise their potential and where the innovative, visual and flexible environment that we have created will inspire movement, sound and a profusion of positive experiences.
