Kindergarten is crucial to children’s successful transition into school. At Aspire, we offer a fully funded 3-year-old and 4-year-old Kindergarten program. Our fully funded programs are designed by a collaborative team of kindergarten and local primary school teachers.
Our 3-year-old “Kickstart to Kinder” programs continues to build on the foundation of learning and development educators have fostered in your child’s early years. In our Kickstart to Kinder program, we encourage children to learn about the world through play. We provide a range of interactive, fun, and educational learning experiences to encourage children to become curious, creative, and confident about learning.
Aspire’s 4-year-old "Step into Prep'' programs are designed to be inclusive of all stages of development and work closely with families to ensure children meet their full potential. The social and emotional skills your child will learn throughout their Step into Prep year continue to build on the foundation they have formed through their Aspire journey for a successful transition to primary school and beyond.
As we cross the half-way point of the year, families are able to register their interest for our 2025 Kindergarten program. To support his decision, we ran Kinder Information Evenings across our Aspire centres over June and July. Learn more about these valuable sessions below!
Across the months of June and July, our Aspire centres held Kinder Information Sessions. These sessions provided valuable information on our funded 3- and 4-year-old kindergarten programs and how they support school readiness. Some centres also had local school representatives attend to talk about their prep curriculum and discuss how our Aspire programs align with their curriculum, ensuring a seamless transition to school.
These sessions provided our families valuable insight into what we offer at Aspire, and the benefits of enrolling in our kindergarten program.

Research shows that two years of Kindergarten are more beneficial than one, with children who attend a kindergarten program being less likely to be developmentally vulnerable at school. Our Aspire Kinder programs offer many benefits for children that will help them with their growth and development.
Within our Kindergarten program, children learn key skills for life such as creative thinking, social and emotional skills, and early literacy and language skills. They will also learn important skills to help them become school ready, such as how to open their sandwich at lunch, the confidence to ask for help, and the problem-solving skills to find their belongings if they can’t find them.
As well as supporting your child’s growth and development, our Kinder programs also incorporate additional learning opportunities, including excursions, incursions, and special programs, to further enhance learning and follow their interests. Some of these incursion programs include ELLA Language program, Little Sports Heroes, Magic Jenny, SketchRoo and more. Learn more about our partner programs here.
The children also have the opportunity to explore the local community through a range of different excursions including nature walks, playground fun, school excursions, library excursions, supermarket visits, farm visits and more. These provide valuable opportunities for children to explore their interests and form a deeper appreciation for the world around them.
