Childcare Centre Highlights

Incursions play a large role in the development and growth of each child. Aspire Hemingway, Thonrhill Park incorporates incursions to align with Aspire’s curriculum, as well as the interests of the children. Incursions on topics such as tiny mini beasts and insects, first aid, sports, and talented magicians and face painters are frequent inclusions. 

At Aspire Hemingway, 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. 

Our Hemingway, Thornhill Park childcare is staffed by a team of experienced and fully qualified educators who are committed to providing the best possible care for every child. Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework and Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, our teachers closely collaborate with families and offer every child the opportunity to succeed.

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.

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. 

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’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.

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.

What Our Families Have To Say

★★★★★

My child has joined the center last month. I really appreciate the educators Blezy and Shanveer’s commendable job in settling my child. Thank you everyone.

Nav, family at Aspire Thornhill Village, VIC

★★★★★

My husband and I have seen daily improvement in our 2 year old son since joining Aspire Childcare Centre - Thornhill Village. Even though it’s only been 3 days of attending, he eats better, sleeps longer, and has become much more expressive in words. The warmth and caring environment makes us feel confident and at peace that he’s in the best hands and in a place that feels like a second home. We couldn’t be happier with the support he receives from all the dedicated and passionate educators and managers every day.

Leaving your child is always hard but since enrolling my 1 year old at Aspire, I rest assured knowing he is in great hands! All the staff are so welcoming and warm - from the ladies at the front desk, to all the educators and chefs! My son loves his room leader and his educators. Thank you to the team at Aspire Thornhill Park.

★★★★★

My son is having great time at child care. Even on weekends he wakes up early and wants to go to Childcare and play with his friends. Have observed a big difference in his behaviour and is more independent than before. Thank you Aspire Thornhill park team for taking good care of my child.
