Centre Facilities

Purpose Built For Each Age Group

Our purpose-built 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.

Welcoming Environment for Parents and Children

The welcoming, open foyer area is the perfect spot to grab a coffee as your child races off into their rooms each morning. Don't forget to say hi to the fish in the fish tank on your way in or out!

Connected Indoor and Outdoor Spaces

Within our indoor rooms, children participate in a range of daily activities including language classes, music and sport programs, reading and more. We have a beautiful, architecturally designed outdoor space which connects seamlessly with our indoor rooms. Children are free to explore our range of outdoor environments including sand pits, vegetable gardens, bike paths, rock climbing, swing sets and cubby houses.

The Cranbourne West Community

We demonstrate a steadfast commitment to fostering strong community connections, placing it at the forefront of our educational philosophy. Aspire Cranbourne West recognises the important role that community plays in a child's holistic development. Because of this, we actively engage in initiatives that strengthen these bonds. Some community connections include Cranbourne West Secondary College, local MPs, Narre Warren SES, local libraries and primary schools. One special connection is that with local charity Backpacks for VIC Kids. This charity donates backpacks full of clothes, toys, school items and more to children who need them. The centre partners with them in a variety of ways, including donation drives, awareness campaigns and volunteering days.

 Through a range of community events, regular communication channels, and inclusive cultural programs, Aspire ensures that children can be a part of a community throughout their early learning journey.

Aspire Cranbourne West 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.

Nursery 

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.

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 & 4-Year-Old Kindergarten 

Aspire Early Education Cranbourne West 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.

Funded Kindergarten – Childcare Subsidy 

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.

Families will save up to $2,050 a year for eligible children aged three years old and above in eligible long daycares in 2024. This is in addition to the Child Care Subsidy.

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 Cranbourne West

My name is Archi, and I’m the Centre Manager at Aspire Early Education & Kindergarten Cranbourne West. My role as Centre Director is to provide meaningful relationships and links to families and communities within and outside the centre. As an educator and Centre Director, I recognise that the child’s family, community context, literacy practices and experiences play a part in fostering a child’s development, understanding and interests.

The team at Aspire Cranbourne West aims to make each child’s ongoing learning experience safe, positive, and fun. If educators acknowledge, model, and teach diversity, children will grow to become culturally competent members of society.

I believe that “Together We Can”, and following this moto, I work with my team to provide our best to our families and the Cranbourne West Community. With a strong foundation and growing with feedback, we strive to develop a bright future for the little wonders in our care!

Peace of mind for parents

My daughter attends Aspire Cranbourne West and she is currently in the Flora Room. From the first day we walked in and was given a tour, we were greeted by extremely friendly staff and we definitely felt reassured that this was the right center for our daughter. All educators do an absolutely amazing job from completing any request given to being extremely responsive and reliable. My husband and I are also very impressed with all the activities and incursions/excursions that are planned each day to build on children's experiences. Overall, we couldn't have found a better center for our daughter and we highly recommend Aspire Cranbourne West for a safe, reliable and welcoming childcare.
