About Mini Treasures

in Wallington

We are a Forest-School inspired nursery in Wallington caring for children from 0 to 5 years old, and provide a range of age appropriate resources and activities to encourage their development right up until they are ready to join school.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a dynamic and flexible approach that supports every child, irrespective of their age, stage or ability

Our Philosophy

To support us in meeting this mission, our approach to learning is as inclusive as possible and we have created a unique philosophy that combines thinking from Reggio Emilia, Curiosity Approach, and Forest School curricula.

By blending indoor and outdoor classrooms in a home-away-from-home environment, we are able to create a space where children feel empowered and ready to learn.

Who We Are

Mini Treasures got its start over 10 years ago by owner Sharon Siwoku when she was looking for a nursery for her own child and wanted to create a space that didn’t simply help children to hit developmental milestones, but saw them as independent and curious little learners.

"When my son was one year old, I was looking for a quality and family-orientated setting where every child would be seen as an individual and able to thrive in a home-from-home environment where children's imagination and curiosity are enhanced by the educators and the environment.”

- Sharon Siwoku

As a small group of nurseries, each of our settings has been carefully designed to foster early learning in a fun and safe environment. We strive to make every day engaging for children, using a combination of Reggio Emilia and Curiosity Approach thinking to provide an environment that gives children the opportunity to use natural and authentic resources to enhance their learning. We believe our innovative approach gives children a bright and positive start in life as we encourage both exploration and discovery as well as emotional intelligence and building friendships.

Merging Teaching & Childcare

We believe that it’s never too early to start learning and that it’s vital to always present opportunities for children to learn and grow as soon as they start at our setting. 

By developing our programs with childcare specialists and taking inspiration from a number of philosophies, including Reggio Emilia, Curiosity Approach, and Forest Schools, we’ve been able to hone in on what makes early education a success and created a learning program that allows our children to enter school seamlessly.

At Mini Treasures, we combine teaching and childcare to foster an environment of love and support that also inspires children to have a love for learning.

What to Expect from Mini Treasures

Our mission is to provide the highest quality childcare in Wallington, if not the world!

As part of our commitment, we provide all of our children with:

Multiple Settling In Visits to enable you and your child to adjust to this new experience, as well as bond with your Key Worker and understand their role as your point of contact and your child’s primary carer.

Healthy chef-prepared meals each day that meet dietary restrictions such as gluten-free and vegetarian.

The opportunity to explore the surroundings with field trips to Mellows Park and visits to Wallington Library.

Events that allow children to learn more about the world around them and visits from local community members including the police and firefighters

An Art and Music Studio where children can freely express themselves, diving into their imaginations and expanding their creativity.

Outdoor play that teaches little ones how to respect and interact with nature in a meaningful way.

A diverse, all-inclusive environment where all cultures and traditions are honoured and respected.

OUR STAFF

​Selected and hand - picked by our Executive Director MommyC, is a mix of teachers with various backgrounds and education levels who hold one quality; PASSION. MommyC has found, over the years, that variety is the solution to a balanced environment. One belief of hers is to select teachers who love children and everything else can be easily taught and trained. Staff undergo at minimum 80 hours of on-the-job training initially, amongst on-going training monthly at their regularly scheduled team meetings. Although many of our staff hold CDA certifications, are currently in school to obtain it, or have many years of experience; it is not the sole criteria for selection. MommyC has found that you can have a teacher with all of the education necessary and criteria to obtain the job (8 different certifications required), but none of the compassion or skill to maintain the job. It is her endeavor to always select the best staff available for the right environment and consistently choose those who ultimately have care for children as their primary focus. It's no wonder our families have reported that our school is the best they've found because we strategically select those who make up our education and loving environment. Some of our staff members are pictured below.
