Mini Masterminds North Parramatta

Meet Belinda – Centre Director at Mini Masterminds North Parramatta

"As Director, my goal is to create a safe, inspiring, and supportive environment where children, families, and educators feel like they truly belong. Leading a centre where every child is valued and celebrated is both a privilege and a joy." – Belinda

Belinda brings warmth, dedication, and a deep passion for early education to her role as Centre Director. Her leadership style centres around connection—ensuring every child, family, and educator feels supported, respected, and part of something special.

What truly sets this centre apart is the strong, family-like atmosphere Belinda and her team have created. The educators pride themselves on building genuine, lasting relationships with every child and parent. By getting to know each child’s unique interests, strengths, and needs, they’re able to create tailored, nurturing learning experiences that help every child feel seen, heard, and celebrated.

This deep sense of connection and belonging helps children thrive not just academically, but also socially and emotionally - setting a strong foundation for life. Under Belinda’s guidance, the centre is more than just a place to learn—it’s a community that feels like home.

As a family-owned and operated centre, Mini Masterminds builds strong connections with centre families and the wider community.

By taking a collaborative approach with parents and the community, the centre encourages diversity and inclusion. This ensures that every Mini feels accepted and part of the Mini Masterminds ‘family’.

Parent feedback helps inform programs, which aim to build confident, independent and active learners. The centre invites families to drop in and speak to our Educators. Families also participate in special events and cultural celebrations throughout the year.

In addition to the National Curriculum, Mini Masterminds is proud to have developed a bespoke Curriculum in consultation with well-regarded Early Childhood Teacher, Jacob Camilleri.

Central to this is a unique Prep School Program which exposes children to the NSW Foundation Font. It focuses not just on the Early Years Framework but also the Early Stage 1 Curriculum. By merging the Prep School and Kindergarten lessons, our Minis will have a head start when it comes to their formal schooling.

The focus of the Curriculum is on play-based learning, which ensures each Mini develops, understands and takes responsibility at their own pace. The centre does away with the dated early learning methods of set lesson plans. Instead, it embraces individuality, personal growth and current abilities, allowing each Mini to comfortably develop in a warm, secure and supportive environment.

The centre’s programs allow for our Minis to move freely around the activities, making their own unique choices, while ensuring that all key learning areas are promoted and explored. The overall aim of the Curriculum is to develop each Mini's independence, while fostering confidence in communication and learning.
