MindChamps Early Learning & Preschool @ Penrith

“At MindChamps, our overarching philosophy of 100% Respect, Zero Fear is a way of approaching the world that leads us to have full confidence in ourselves, while considering the rights and opinions of others.

This offers us the ideal opportunity to express our abilities without fear through the process of “becoming”, which will then allow us to live up to our full potential.”

MindChamps Team

• Theatre acting program: the centre has a fun, engaging dramatic theatre program for the children, which is backed by Hugh Jackman. This seeks to develop the children’s social skills, physical coordination, active learning, creativity, emotional control and empathy, with weekly 60 minute sessions for the 3-5 year olds.
• Martial arts program: the children take part in krav maga, which teaches them self defence skills, gross motor development, and builds confidence.
• Sustainability program: children learn about the planet and taking care of it, helping with worm farms, composting, native bees, herb gardens, recycling and even collecting eggs from the chickens.
• Sport program: MindSport games and activities are designed to help develop the children’s strength and coordination. It seeks to encourage participation and aptitude for sports from a young age.
• Music program: a fun, interactive and innovative music program based on the latest research.
• School readiness program: the MindChamps Reading and Writing programs build the children’s skills in that area, while also boosting their confidence, creativity and communication skills.

Developing positive eating habits in those early years is a responsibility we take very seriously at MindChamps which is why we’ve invested heavily in our revolutionary Nutrition Program and Team, developed by Paediatric Nutritionist Mandy Sacher.  

Our meal ingredient list has a strong focus on nourishing ingredients including wholegrains, grass-fed meat, free-range organic chicken, low-mercury fish and natural dairy products. We also include a wide variety of fresh fruit and vegetables in each meal to ensure children’s nutritional needs are fulfilled in our centres and their growing bodies have what they need to thrive. 

Our philosophy is simple – teach children’s taste buds to enjoy nourishing, nutritionally beneficial foods as early as possible to ensure optimal development and the establishment of lifelong healthy eating behaviours.

In line with their belief that a curriculum is only as good as the teachers that deliver it, MindChamps seeks out the best early childhood educators. Each member of the team undergoes extensive training in the MindChamps curriculum and philosophy. This ensures they are fully equipped to nurture and educate the children in their care.
