Our Story
Hi, I’m Miss Belinda.
As the proud owner and director of Mastermind Playground, I bring over 25 years of experience as a professional Early Childhood Teacher and a deep passion for children’s learning.
During this time, I’ve seen firsthand the struggles that many parents face. I know that being a mum is incredibly rewarding but it can also be exhausting and stressful. Between managing household responsibilities, work and the constant demands of parenting, it’s no wonder so many mums feel overwhelmed. Adding to this, is the pressure of ensuring that your preschooler is ready for school, knowing what and how to teach them can seem like an impossible task.
Recognising these struggles, I created Mastermind Playground, a play-based school readiness program designed to take the stress out of preparing your child for school.
My mission is to nurture children’s skills, confidence, and love for learning through fun, educational activities, including interactive games, engaging songs and captivating stories.
Year after year, children who attend Mastermind Playground have shown incredible results.
If you want to give your child the best possible head start for school, book an appointment to explore our program and discover the incredible benefits it offers for your child’s development.

My daughter is currently doing the masterminds program and she loves it! Miss Belinda does an amazing job with her classes. Each week has a different letter and theme with songs and games to make learning fun. I think this program really prepares your preschool child for prep.

Cannot describe the positive change in Cooper since starting with Masterminds at the beginning of the year. I was very conflicted about starting prep and ended up keeping him back a year and enrolling in Masterminds instead. Could not be happier with this decision, he is now confident and ready for prep next year! Thanks so much Belinda

Belinda is the most passionate, caring and dedicated person I have met in early childhood education. She loves her work and is always thinking of ways to add more value to her much loved children in her classes! Belinda’s teaching is outstanding and her standards are second to none with her style and content. I would not hesitate to recommend Belinda and if what she teaches is what you are looking for then you and your child are going to love her program!

Thank you Miss Belinda for creating such a warm and fun environment for kids to learn and thrive before school. My son Tae loved having you as his teacher and I am so confident in sending Tae to prep now as I know you have given him the best possible head start for when he starts school next year!! : )
