    A big thank you to Anthony from Early Minds Education & Care Centre for generously sponsoring the Lidcombe Waratahs Football Club under 6, 7 and 8's teams. Your support means so much to the kids and the community. My son was thrilled to receive his team jumper, he wears it proudly and it’s become a favorite. We really appreciate your commitment to supporting local sports and helping young players.

    I couldn’t be more pleased with the care and education my child receives at Early Minds Education and Care Centre. The team here truly stands out for their commitment to creating a balanced environment where both learning and play are prioritised. The curriculum is engaging, and I love how they integrate real world experiences into the daily routine. It’s clear the staff genuinely cares about the children’s development and wellbeing. My child has grown in confidence and skills since attending, and it’s such a relief knowing they are in such capable, loving hands. The communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel informed and involved. I highly recommend Early Minds for anyone seeking a nurturing and enriching place for their little ones.
