Frequently Asked Questions

Why MindChamps vs other providers?

Our research-based approach, which factors in 20+ years of findings from neuroscience, psychology, theatre and education, sets us apart from other childcare centres in Sydney. Our long list of awards demonstrates our commitment to offering high-quality development programs, advanced learning strategies, experienced educators and a welcoming childcare environment. Put simply – nowhere else will offer your child a loving, fun environment while also helping them to prepare for a lifetime of learning.

What is MindChamps and what makes it stand out?

MindChamps began with a vision – to develop an approach to early learning education that prepared young children for life in a rapidly changing and unpredictable world, by nurturing the attributes of enthusiastic and creative ‘life-long’ learners. We pride ourselves on our unique approach to childcare that helps develop the Champion Mindset in children and allow them to build the foundations to reach their full potential!

What is on the daily menu?

We provide 5X daily meals, following a menu backed by Paediatric Nutritionist and Bestselling Author, Mandy Sacher. Examples of some of our menu items include crunchy cauliflower popcorn, mango chia puddings and 4-ingredient veggie pasta bake. All food is refined sugar free, and we cater for all dietary requirements.

Most of our team have been at the service since we opened. We even have one team member who has been with us for 31 years!
