Childcare Centre Highlights

Aspire Tarneit North offers regular fortnightly incursion programs that provide fun and engaging educational and learning experiences for the children. These incursions include:

  • SketchRoo – Drawing workshops that offer hands-on, child-friendly, and relevant subject matter to spark creativity and increase knowledge retention. The program extends the children's artistic side through paints, crayons, pastels, and more.
  • Hey De Ho – Music, movement and drama program specifically designed to nurture children’s physical and intellectual development from an early age.

Aspire childcare centres frequently run engaging and exciting excursions throughout the year. Aspire Tarneit North runs regular excursions to the local park for all age groups. While the kinder children also visit Wimba Primary School and the local library, as part of their school readiness program. These excursions further bolster the learning of students in every age group, as they align with Aspire's curriculum 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.

Childcare Centre Facilities

Our multi-story facility sets the benchmark for early learning centres and caters to children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. The seven 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.

Within our seven 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 the playground that features a massive boat! Additionally, our programs actively promote the message of environmental consciousness and sustainability.

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 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.

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.

The Victorian Government offers funding to provide families with 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 daycare kindergarten program.

As of 2025, families can 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 have access to the benefits of early learning and give them a strong foundation for a successful school experience.

Head of Curriculum

Sonal Gupta

Hi, I’m Sonal, and I’m the Head of Curriculum at Aspire Tarneit North!

I love working at Aspire because I’m part of a team that truly values meaningful relationships, high-quality education and a strong sense of community.

The Aspire value that resonates with me most is Inspiring & Nurturing. I’m passionate about building inclusive learning spaces where every child feels safe, respected and inspired to grow. Supporting our educators to deliver rich, play-based programs that celebrate curiosity and diversity is what I strive for!

I hold a Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care, alongside a range of professional development certifications that keep me inspired and informed as a leader in the sector. I began my journey in early childhood education in 2020 and joined Aspire in 2025 as Head of Curriculum at Tarneit North. My experiences in different roles have shaped my collaborative and reflective leadership style, always focused on continuous improvement.

I believe strong, respectful relationships with families and educators are the foundation of what we do. It’s a privilege to be part of the Aspire family and to work alongside such dedicated educators and wonderful families and children.

Outside of work, I love reading, cooking, and spending time with my loved ones. These passions bring balance to my life and often inspire fresh ideas for our learning environment.

Very professional and outstanding childcare. My daughter joined the centre in early March; I had a warm welcome by the front desk staff called Gizzle, who helped me promptly with application process; all the educators are very well mannered and caring towards our daughter,  especially Miranda, who is above and beyond ; she always make sure our fussy eater daughter is well looked after and will inform us about her experience with her peers, activity and her meal honestly.

Abrham, family at Aspire Tarneit North, VIC

★★★★★

Aspire Tarneit North is my child’s second home. She was 12months old when she started and it was not easy for her to get settled in a new environment. But her educators in Sapphire room took care of her really well like she has a second mummy. Now that she’s in Amber room, she had a good transition because her new educators are very pleasing and loving. This centre offers the best care not only for your child but to your family as well.
