We work in close collaboration with families and ensure that any personal needs and requests are accommodated for. Our teachers possess comprehensive knowledge of both the Early Years Learning Framework and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, that offers every child the opportunity to succeed.

With countless community connections, Aspire Clyde North is embedded within the heart of the suburb.

Aspire Early Education and Kindergarten centres provide nutritious daily meals to each child.

Centre Facilities

Our purpose-built facility sets the benchmark for early learning centres and caters to children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Our curriculum inspires children to have a deep interest and excitement about learning.  The state-of-the-art design features 6 rooms to support children at every stage of their development. 

Within the expansive rooms well-eqipped rooms, children participate in many daily activities including arts and craft, sports, reading, music, STEM and more. The centre has a beautiful, architecturally designed outdoor space that connects seamlessly with the indoor rooms. This makes it easy for children to move between the indoor and outdoor spaces, supporting a holistic learning experience for the children. 

The expansive outdoor environment features a sustainability garden and a life-size car playground for children to explore. The sustainability garden helps the children understand living sustainably, and how to grow and harvest produce. The Aspire Clyde North children look forward to playing in the incredible yard daily!

Aspire Clyde North Programs

Aspire Early Education and Kindergarten have four main 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.

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

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.

Aspire Early Education Clyde North has a robust Pre-Kinder and Kinder program to support children's growth and development as they step into primary school. Our play-based programs are designed by kindergarten teachers, as well as early primary school teachers. The teaching team also considers what the children are interested in learning about, and tailors activities, topics and learning opportunities around these interests. Inquiry-based learning helps children develop new hobbies and makes them feel as if their interests are listened to. This ensures that the children in our care receive an education that will allow them to thrive and prepare them for future education.

The Victorian Government offers funding to provide families up to 15 hours of free kindergarten a week, in addition to the Childcare Subsidy. The funding offsets the fees for three and four-year-old children that are part of the centre’s long day care kindergarten program.

As of 2025 families will save up to $2,101 a year for eligible children aged three years old and above in eligible long daycares. This is in addition to the Child Care Subsidy. Use our CCS Calculator to estimate your child care subsidy & out-of-pocket costs.

The Free Kinder program is designed to ensure all children access the benefits of early learning and give them a strong foundation for a successful school experience.

Meet the Centre Manager for Clyde North

Shashika (Shashi) Kuruppu

I am Shashika Kuruppu (Shashi), centre manager in Aspire Clyde North centre. I started my journey with Aspire in 2021 as Toddler room leader at the Clyde North centre. I have chosen Aspire as an early childhood educator because Aspire supports all the educators in achieving their career goals and provides quality care and education to young children.

I have just completed a Bachelor of Early childhood education through Swinburne University to enhance my knowledge about early childhood education and provide quality care for all our children. I am from Sri Lankan background and value and respect the diversity of our centre.

I have two young daughters who always keep me busy at home. I am inspired by my beloved husband who keeps me motivated in how he appreciates and admires me.  He is my strength in every success.

As a Centre Manager, I will continue to ensure the highest standards of care and education are maintained in our Clyde North centre. I am looking forward to continuously succeeding in my career with Aspire and I am a proud member of the Aspire family.

What Our Families Have To Say

★★★★★

Our experience at Aspire has been nothing but positive.  We feel so welcomed by their team and our son has made an instant connection with his educators.  Excellent communication and care.  Can’t recommend them highly enough.  He’s been there since they opened and has been in three rooms over that time and his skills just seem to jump exponentially each time he’s moved up.  He’s built meaningful relationships with his educators and they all know us and are happy to talk to us - even those who aren’t in his room greet us with a smile.  I’ve recommended it to anyone who has asked for child care in the area because I’m just so impressed.

The best daycare/kinder hands down!! I can not fault this centre. I trust my two kids with any one of the ladies here without having any single doubt. They are all just honestly the sweetest, kindest, caring, humble and soft spoken humans. My kids love attending to their days and my husband and I are both incredibly happy with leaving our children here having a peace of mind knowing our children are in good hands. The staff are all very approachable in all matters, from that being to personal family matters to your child’s development anything and anything you may need these wonderful aspire team are genuinely there to support you. The kids are fed from a brilliant chef, my son loves Sukhis (chefs) food and complains to me at home how come I don’t cook food like chefs meals at kinder. We love Aspire Clyde north. We love ALL the team. Thank you everyone for making our experience with you so very enjoyable ♥️

I cannot praise Aspire more highly. We transferred following a rough patch with our original daycare from the same area. They’re amazing when it comes to managing food allergies and still feeding the kids nutritious and filling meals. No slip-ups and we have zero concerns about leaving our daughter with them full time. Their educational curriculum is also well thought out - Mandarin lessons, yoga, excursions, art, counting...and this is at toddler level! Our daughter comes home each day fulfilled, tired and happy stimulated from all the learning. Excellent communication from staff to parents too. Worth it in every respect!

If you're looking for a wonderful homey, caring, happy group of educators to take care of your children and nurture them. Aspire Clyde is where you want to be, my boys have been with Aspire since their opening last year and we couldn't be happier and speak more highly. The team at Aspire is operated very well and organised, their educators are happy and in return shows in the way they show up for the children. As a first-time mum, it was hard for me let go of my boys. But the team at Aspire has made it such an easy transition, especially because I know my children are been well taken of by educators who treat them like their own. I love getting the daily updates on the fun activities my kids are getting up to, their teachers all play such an amazing part in their development and growth. I'm very grateful for them and they do such a great job!

Aspire Clyde North have been great for my son Harley! He has been in their care since 8 months old and he is now almost 2. Being a first time Mum I was so nervous about sending him to daycare and them following our routine but they have been so accommodating and great since he started! The kids are always doing such engaging and exciting  activities, the educators constantly post updates on your child and are always so lovely when you’re in the centre. They’ve been wonderful through all of his room transitions making sure both he and I are comfortable before he moves up. They are a great team and I highly recommend them to any parents in the area looking for a daycare.
