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 Sikwou
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 and 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.
