Mini Mates Early Learning Centre

• School readiness program: educators focus on a high-quality early childhood education to prepare children for their school years and beyond. This includes STEM and THRASS as part of the curriculum.
• Paddock to plate nutrition program: children help nurture, harvest and prepare fruits and veg in the centre’s garden.
• Piano lessons: Learning to play the piano engages various parts of the brain simultaneously, enhancing cognitive abilities such as memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills.
• Language program: lessons in Mandarin are offered, with the Mandarin Stars. Learning a new language exposes children to different cultures, traditions, and perspectives. It fosters an appreciation for diversity and promotes cultural sensitivity and empathy towards people from different backgrounds.
• Excursions and incursions: to local libraries and supermarkets; with special guests coming to the centre such as local fire brigade, SES, reptile demonstrations and evening parent seminars.

Mini Mates Dural Early Learning Centre has a team of dedicated educators led by the owner, Miss Maria. She wants nothing more than to see the children happy and content in their home away from home. Our staff takes pride in being supportive early learning educators. Our team of passionate staff is always there with a smile and ready to support you and your child in their early years of learning.

At Mini Mates, all meals and snacks are provided. The organic seasonal menu is prepared fresh daily by the in-house chef. The focus is on fresh organic produce, with weekly deliveries from local suppliers. 

 The centre’s food is free–range, hormone-free, and pesticide-free, and it is adaptable to any intolerances or allergies. With an on-site garden and orchard, fresh fruit and vegetables are also grown at the centre with the help of the children.
