Exciting Excursions

Aspire Wollert childcare centres frequently run engaging and exciting excursions throughout the year. The Wollert children particularly love their yearly swimming lessons at the local Kingswim swimming pool.

Other excursions may include Bush Kinder, farm visits, walking to a local park or to local primary schools.

These excursions further bolster the learning of students in every age group, as they align with Aspire's curriculum and the interests of the children.

Nutritious Meals

At Aspire Wollert, 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.

Childcare Centre Facilities

Purpose-Built Facility

Aspire’s purpose-built childcare facility sets the benchmark for early learning centres and caters to children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. The eight learning spaces have design features fit for each age group. These rooms foster a tailored curriculum throughout all stages of learning. Designed to help your child learn and grow, they will quickly develop a love of learning and a sense of community in their rooms. This is exemplified by all our children, whether they are starting in nursery or attending our Kindergarten program.

Community Piazza

The Piazza is the meeting place at Aspire Wollert. The area has been recently updated to include a display on the history of the childcare centre, and is a fantastic space to share the work and art that the children create. This area is utilised in several ways, including cooking classes, family and community events, and incursions. The piazza fosters a sense of community, allowing children of different ages to learn together, especially during shared activities.

Spacious Outdoor Area

We have a beautiful, architecturally designed outdoor space that connects seamlessly with our indoor rooms. There is a lot to explore in Aspire Wollert’s exciting playground and outdoor area. Children are free to explore our range of outdoor environments, including sand pits, vegetable gardens, slides, cubby houses and a large adventure playground.

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

★★★★★

Very are happy with Aspire, as soon as we walk in we are greeted with a smile by the lovely ladies Sarah or Fatima. We have recently moved up a room and my son is fitting in nicely, he is with kids who are at the same level as he is and there is a lot more to explore while also promoting his independence. All the educators, whether in his room or not, always say hello to him when we arrive which is such a nice feeling. My son has gravitated to a few educators which makes me happy to know he feels safe and content. Look forward to seeing my boy reach his goals and continue with his learning and adventures.

Such an amazing child care centre with fantastic staff. The educators are so attentive and caring towards the kids. My daughter’s language and motor skills have dramatically improved since she started. She’s also loved the incursions they host! Highly recommend!

My two girls are so happy and really enjoying their day in the center, such a lovely team there where you find a staff who are always looking after the kids and communicate respectfully to all the parents. Thanks to all the management team and educators at Aspire Wollert.

Eman, family at Aspire Wollert, VIC

★★★★★

I'd just like to say how much your centre has given my son the care and start to life he needs. We have had a couple centres but his growth and development at Aspire is incredible. From his speech to running around the house with my basketball trying to play soccer thanks to the Soccer Joey's that come in, I can't give enough positive feedback. Thank you to all the staff that do such an amazing job.

Dave, family at Aspire Wollert, VIC

★★★★★

My son absolutely loves going to kinder. I can't believe how much he is growing and learning and thriving at kinder, and it is all thanks to the Aspire staff. The facility itself is fantastic, and there is lots for the kids to explore. The cooked meals are wonderful. My son loves eating lunch with his friends at kinder. All the staff are very welcoming and they really care about the children. Rebecca the director is super helpful and she always supports us in any way she can. When we walk into kinder we feel as if we are walking into our second home and feel like we are a big family at kinder. It's a wonderful community and I highly recommend you send your child here. They will love it! 🙂
