On the corner of Keighery Drive and Tuckers Road, our Aspire Ramlegh childcare centre is located in the growing southeastern suburb of Clyde North. The childcare centre is in close proximity to local primary schools, community wetlands and other community facilities.
Our Atherstone 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.
At Aspire Ramlegh, we’re committed to connecting children and families with the wider Clyde North community through meaningful experiences and partnerships.
Whether it’s learning about safety, understanding how our community works, or simply enjoying a visit from a familiar face. These partnerships help bring learning to life and ensure every child feels part of their local community throughout their early learning journey.
Aspire Ramlegh offer regular incursion programs that provide fun and engaging learning experiences for the children, including a sports and movement program, which supports the children’s physical and social abilities.
The centre also offers one-off incursion programs throughout the term. Some recent standouts include:
Aspire childcare centres also offer engaging and exciting excursions for the children throughout the year. Aspire Ramlegh run regular excursions to the local park that is within walking distance for all their age groups. The kinder children also enjoy regular excursions to Ramlegh Park Primary, which supports their school readiness program. These excursions further bolster the learning of students in every age group, and the interests of the children.
Aspire Early Education and Kindergarten centres provide nutritious daily meals to each child. Meals adhere to the Nutrition Australia Dietary Guidelines, ensuring that each child, regardless of dietary requirements, receives delicious meals each day. Aspire's amazing chefs also love to create special moments for our children and staff, making birthday cakes or delicious spreads of food to celebrate special occasions.
Our purpose-built facility sets the benchmark for early learning centres and caters to children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Our centre’s unique design features high ceilings and glass windows around the entirety, giving it a very open and modern feel. The eight learning spaces also have design features fit for each age group. These rooms foster a tailored curriculum throughout all stages of learning.
Within our eight well-equipped indoor rooms, children participate in a range of daily activities including arts and craft, music, sports, reading and more. We have a beautiful, architecturally designed outdoor space that connects seamlessly with our 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 spacious outdoor yard features a playground with different areas for each age group. Children are free to explore the outdoor environments including sand pits, veggie gardens, rock climbing features, and more. Additionally, our programs actively promote the message of environmental consciousness and sustainability.
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 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’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.
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.

My name is Katie Turner, and I am the Centre Director at Aspire Ramlegh. I have been in the early learning profession for over 12 years. I hold an advanced Diploma in community sector management and a Diploma of early childhood education and care. I have worked across various roles within the early learning sector and have gained a wide range of knowledge during this time.
I am very passionate about children’s individual growth and development. Children are at the heart of everything we do, and I want to encourage each child to be a strong, confident and independent being to give them the best possible start in life.
I believe learning environments should reflect the needs of each individual child, extend on their development, interests, and encourage children to explore and engage. I enjoy celebrating culture, diversity and the greater community and look forward to welcoming and meeting you all.

Hi, I’m Shamila, and I’m the Head of Curriculum! I love working at Aspire because of the genuine sense of community, the focus on innovation and the strong belief in the power of early learning.
The Aspire value that resonates with me most is Inspiring & Nurturing. I’m always looking for ways to reflect, grow, and uplift those around me. This value mirrors my approach to education, where I always strive for excellence and bring out the best in every child and educator.
I began my journey in early childhood education in 2014 and have worked as a Lead Educator, Educational Leader, and Assistant Centre Manager. I spent five years at Aspire Berwick Waters, where I was part of the leadership team that achieved an Exceeding rating.
I’m currently working towards my Bachelor of Education and love learning new ideas to share with my team. As a leader, I believe in empathy, teamwork and intention, and I aim to create an environment that is inclusive, inspiring and responsive to each child's interests and developmental needs.
I’m passionate about designing environments that spark curiosity and creativity, and about mentoring educators to help them grow.
Outside of work, I’m a proud mum and speak English, Sinhalese and understand Tamil and Malaysian. I’m proud to be part of the vibrant Ramlegh community.
