Meet Savitha - Aspire Bella Estate's New Centre Manager!

We are excited to welcome Savitha, the new Centre Manager at Aspire Early Education and Kindergarten Bella Estate! With 12 years of experience in early childhood education, Savitha is passionate about mentoring educators and supporting children and families in her local community.

Learn more about her career journey, what drew her to Aspire, and more below.

From technology to early childhood education

Before moving into early childhood education, Savitha held management roles at IBM and SAP. Those roles taught her how to plan strategically, bring teams together and turn ideas for improvement into practical changes. She brings that same approach to centre leadership today.

Savitha has more than 20 years of leadership experience across early childhood education and IT, including more than a decade in Montessori-based services and over five years as a Centre Director. She holds a Master of Science and a Diploma in Early Childhood Education.

Throughout her career, Savitha has led teams through service improvements while maintaining high standards of care and compliance. She’s proud of the work she’s done to build positive centre cultures where educators want to stay and families feel connected and confident in their child’s care.

Building trust and helping educators grow

Aspire’s growth and the opportunity to keep learning drew Savitha to the organisation. She also felt a strong connection to Aspire’s philosophy of Connect, Learn and Grow, which reflects how she works with educators and families.

The Aspire values that resonate most with Savitha are Building Trust and Empowering Excellence. For her, that starts with getting to know the people she works with, from educators and families to the head office team and community partners.

Mentoring educators is one of her favourite parts of the job. Savitha gives team members the space to take ownership of their roles and supports them to build new skills, take on fresh challenges and make confident decisions in their day-to-day work with children.

Getting to know Savitha outside the centre

On weekends, you’ll often find Savitha in the garden, trying to grow just about anything. She and her family enjoy eating the fruit and vegetables they’ve grown at home. When they’re out of the garden, Savitha, her husband and their two sons love camping, exploring nature and heading out on long walks and treks together.

If you see Savitha around Aspire, be sure to say hello. She’d love to get to know your family, and she’s always happy to chat about what’s growing in the garden.
