Childcare Centre Highlights

In-Centre Incursions

Incursions play a large role in the development and growth of each child. Aspire Strathtulloh incorporates incursions to align with Aspire’s curriculum, as well as the interests of the children. Incursions on topics such as tiny mini beasts and insects, first aid, sports, and talented magicians and face painters are frequent inclusions.

Nutritious Meals

At Aspire Strathtulloh, our in-centre chef prepares fresh and nutritious meals every day, guided by the Australian Dietary Guidelines. Our approach to food focuses on variety, balance, and mindful eating to support children’s healthy growth and development.

We focus on variety, balance and whole foods with each meal containing vegetables, fruit, whole grains, lean proteins and dairy. Our chefs also make mealtimes special, whether it's baking a birthday cake or preparing a festive spread to celebrate an occasion. Food is a meaningful and joyful part of our community.

Experienced Educators

Our Strathtulloh childcare is staffed by a team of experienced and fully qualified educators who are committed to providing the best possible care for every child. Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, our teachers closely collaborate with families and offer every child the opportunity to succeed.

Childcare Centre Facilities

Purpose-Built Rooms

Aspire Strathtulloh will feature purpose-built indoor rooms and spacious outdoor areas supporting children's development from six weeks to six years old. Each room is filled with high-quality educational toys, books, crafts, and imaginative play experiences, ensuring endless opportunities for discovery and fun every day! 

Connected Outdoor Spaces

Our service is a state-of-the-art facility with beautiful indoor and outdoor environments for children to learn and grow in. We have a beautiful, architecturally designed outdoor space that connects seamlessly with our indoor rooms. This makes it easy for children to move between the indoor and outdoor spaces, supporting a holistic learning experience for the children.

Nurturing Environment

The philosophy of Aspire Strathtulloh is to provide a nurturing second home, where a comfortable vibe fills the air. Children have the freedom to express themselves in our well-crafted play spaces, essential for their development. Our passion for early learning is evident in every detail of our program, and we eagerly await the opportunity to welcome new families to our community.

Early Education Programs

Aspire Early Education and Kindergarten operates in a long daycare setting and has four main education programs, tailored to each stage of early development. At Aspire, our quality education programs are designed to guide children’s learning and development by encouraging them to explore, discover and connect with others.

Nursery

Our Baby Steps Nursery Program provides a nurturing environment, with daily activities and intentional teaching opportunities to support your child in reaching developmental milestones. Our play-based learning approach allows children to learn through sensory play, as well as build a foundation for future learning.

Toddlers

The Little Learners Toddler Program is designed to create an engaging environment that supports your toddler’s social and cognitive development. We provide a fun, play-based learning approach that engages their young and active minds within a safe and stimulating environment.

3-Year-Old Kindergarten

Aspire’s Kickstart to Kinder program is specially designed for three-year-olds, offering a warm and engaging introduction to their kindergarten journey. Created in collaboration with kindergarten and local primary school teachers, the program supports each child’s social, emotional and early literacy development.

With a balance of structured and play-based learning, children are encouraged to explore their interests, build confidence and develop independence. This approach helps lay the foundation for a smooth transition into four-year-old kindergarten and a lifelong love of learning.

4-Year-Old Kindergarten

Aspire’s Step into Prep program is designed for four-year-olds to confidently prepare for primary school in a supportive and stimulating environment. Building on skills developed in earlier years, the program focuses on independence, communication, and critical thinking.

The program combines hands-on activities with intentional learning experiences designed to nurture curiosity and resilience. Our educators work closely with each child, tailoring support to their strengths and interests. This thoughtful approach helps children feel confident and ready to embrace the challenges and excitement of primary school.

The Circle of Care at Aspire

What Our Families Have To Say

★★★★★

Our son is attending the Acacia room at Aspire Early Learning and Education Atherstone. We are very happy with the team and their genuine care and learning for our little one. And a big thank you to the management team for being so friendly and accommodating.

Andrew, family at Aspire Atherstone, VIC

★★★★★

My son is going to this centre for the last two years and it's an amazing experience with the team and management. I am very happy with the care and learning my son is getting from his excellent educators. The love and comfort they are giving is outstanding. I know my son is in safe hands, God bless you guys, keep growing and doing amazing work.

Richa, family at Aspire Cobblebank, VIC

★★★★★

My daughter has been attending this childcare centre since it was opened (2020) since she was a baby and has been in 3 rooms and it has changed so much in a positive way. The educators have always been accommodating with our request and they make sure that your child feels welcome and settles in the room. It was important for us to have this support, compassion and love as our child is a bit shy and it can be difficult. Management has been easy to deal with as well.

Trish, family at Aspire Cobblebank, VIC

★★★★★

Wow what can I say! Aspire Atherstone’s team has been an absolute life changer for me as a mum and to our entire family. With a spotlessly clean space and teachers who my kids absolutely adore, I couldn’t ask for anything more. The team truly take time and care for my little ones and they have an absolute ball. It allows me to have piece of mind and concentrate on running my business. Always accommodating and with a smile for the kids, I can’t imagine life without the amazing help.

Shev, family at Aspire Atherstone, VIC

★★★★★

I am extremely happy with Aspire Atherston - my kid has been here for 1.5 years and they have truly looked after him both in the babies and toddler room. I can see him progressing and learning new stuff every week. Highly recommend to anyone looking for daycare in this vicinity. The educators are extremely helpful and empathetic they give a detailed brief almost every day about my child. A big shoutout to the educators!
