Belinda has helped Belle come so far this year, she amazes me with some of the stuff that she has learnt. The small class sizes and lovely environment really makes Belle feel comfortable and we are confident that it has helped bridge the gap between kindy and starting school next year. I cannot recommend her enough, such a fantastic program.

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

I was looking for a program to help my son Muhab with his social skills and build his confidence before school. master mind play ground has been exactly what I was looking for. Mrs Belinda has patience and commitment to her job.she gives every child in her small group classes the attention he needs. and she is always available for discussions about the child. With her support Muhab has developed into a confident and capable child. he showed that clearly in his smooth transition to school, and the positive feedback I constantly get from his teacher on his academic skills that he carried along to school. As a family we thank you for being such an amazing teacher. I highly recommend mastermind playground to everyone who wants ahead start for their child.

This is my second experience with mastermind playground. First time I was recommended I started term 3 so this time I ensure my younger daughter started from the beginning and very pleased. Belinda has been always amazing and during the pandemic she even started whole zoom class with 5 year old and nailed it. I always trust you and hope the words get around. Recent project on educational toy library I can’t recommend highly enough. Good luck to take this to the community and hope they appreciate as much as I/ we do.

Best thing we ever did for our boy! He starts prep next year and is going to have the best head start and so much more academic confidence. We only wish we knew about it sooner so we could have put our girl through it 2 years ago before she started prep. Thanks so much Belinda for giving Riley a great learning foundation!

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.

Belinda is passionate about her job and is dedicated to every single child. Belinda genuinely wants the best for your child. This is a wonderful way to help children prepare for prep and offers a small group personal learning journey and an opportunity for your child to build positive relationships. My daughter loved coming there each week in 2019 and still has fond memories.

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!! : )

This is an absolutely wonderful program. My son just turned 5 years old and has been attending Masterminds for the last 2 terms. He has made some wonderful achievements, not only with his sounds which he is feeling confident in himself in learning to read, he has blossomed socially as well, as it has taught him to be with others outside of Kindy and home. I cannot express how much we are so grateful for what Belinda from Masterminds has done for Aaron! She has such an excellent professional set up with so much knowledge and so many resources to help support learning in a fun interactive way. I would fully recommend anyone to enrol their children before they start at Prep and watch them grow as an individual in all areas! I have that much confidence in this program that I will be sending my son for after school tutoring also to ensure he carries on with the best start at schooling!

Thanks Belinda for a fabulous term in your Pre-prep program. After having difficulty with a traditional Kindy program I have been thrilled to have my daughter push me out of the room each morning so she can start learning! Your program really does use fun activities to help kids learn and I love hearing the new stories and songs after each session. Thanks so much for your help and I would have no hesitation in recommending your program to any child wanting a head start for prep, it was certainly the best option for us.

My son Kealee has been going to Mastermind Playground now for 10 weeks to participate in a Pre-pre program. From the moment he started he just loved the teacher Belinda and has been really excited about going every week. Not only has he really enjoyed the class, he has also learnt so much in such a short time. Belinda is fantastic with kids and such a great teacher. I would certainly highly recommend her program to anyone. We love her so much that we will definitely be coming again next year!

Masterminds has been so beneficial for Ella. She loved going and she has surprised me how much she can learn when taught the right way. It has improved our relationship and her overall personality. It’s Amazing! Thanks Belinda, Ella will never forget her time at Masterminds.

Congratulation Belinda Skewes,
Mastermind Playground is an amazing learning environment full of so much love!
I found Masterminds to be a super supportive and engaging place for all my children. It helped them develop essential skills like literacy, numeracy, and communication, all while getting them ready for school in a fun and interactive way.
My kids had access to books, songs, games and hands-on activities which made learning exciting.
Miss Belinda created a small group environment that boosted my children’s confidence, nurtured their skills, and instilled a love of learning, all in preparation for school the following year.
The guidance and support from Miss Belinda were exceptional, and she was so wonderful with all the children, treating them with so much love and care.
Thanks to Masterminds and Miss Belinda, my children were more than ready for school-they were thriving! They have achieved amazing things with her support.
I’m so very grateful for her; she’s now like family! So much love for Miss Belinda and Mastermind Playground!
Ali, Sabren and family
