Kinder Teacher of the Year 2025 - Gurpreet Dhaliwal, Aspire Atherstone

Aspire is proud to present the Kinder Teacher of the Year Award, and this year we are delighted to recognise Gurpreet Kaur Dhaliwal from Atherstone as our 2025 winner.

Our Kindergarten programs are a true point of difference at Aspire. They lay the foundation for school readiness, confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. This award celebrates a teacher who delivers exceptional educational outcomes, creates a rich and inspiring program, and brings genuine passion and expertise to every child’s learning journey.

This award honours a teacher who partners closely with families, leads with intention and care, and ensures our Kinder programs shine as some of the best in the sector. It recognises someone who goes beyond teaching - someone who inspires, nurtures, and makes a lasting impact on children and their communities
