Nestled within “The Village" precinct on Sayers Road, Aspire Tarneit Square is an early learning centre uniquely designed for children’s growth and exploration. This centre is dedicated to educating and caring for young children ranging from 6 weeks to 6 years old. Aspire Tarneit Square offers a comprehensive learning journey in its six beautifully appointed rooms.
Our Tarneit Square centre is staffed by a team of experienced and fully qualified educators, who are committed to providing the best possible care for every child. We work in close collaboration with families and ensure that any personal needs and requests are accommodated for. Our teachers possess comprehensive knowledge of both the Early Years Learning Framework and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, that offers every child the opportunity to succeed.
Aspire Tarneit Square has embedded itself within the Tarneit community. They partner with community services such as dentists and doctors, the local swimming pool and cafes. Creating these community bongs helps children feel safe and connected with their wider neighbourhood. Recognising the integral role of family and community in a child’s development, we aim to deliver enriching experiences that are relevant and engaging.
The centre also has a Community Board with information about local businesses and services, local events, as well as centre information. This info hub is great for families to see what is going on in the wider community and to create new connections.
With community at the heart of everything we do at Aspire, our centre’s host a range of community events, internal celebrations and inclusive cultural programs throughout the year, that ensure the children can be part of the community throughout their early learning journey.
A recent highlight of the Aspire Tarneit Square is the massive fish tank in the centre’s foyer. The children and families alike love saying “hello” to the fish when they arrive at the centre and “goodbye” when they leave. The fish tank is also a fantastic area for children to be able to regulate their emotions or just to have a bit of quiet time.
The centre also runs a range of fun, educational and engaging incursions and excursions throughout the year. These include educational puppet shows with The Drama Toolbox, water safety sessions with the local KingSwim pool, and The centre also has a fortnightly incursion with Happy Feet to encourage movement and healthy living.
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.
Aspire Early Education and Kindergarten Tarneit Square comprises of six well-equipped rooms for children aged six-weeks to six-years old. Designed to stimulate and captivate young minds, the early learning centre features dynamic learning spaces that cater to each child’s natural curiosity. Our early learning centre is a safe space for children to be authentic, explore their environment, and embark on a learning adventure filled with happiness and discovery.
The outdoor play spaces are full of fun play opportunities, including a playground crafted from a recycled speedboat, and a massive truck filled with slides and climbing equipment. We believe in the power of quality education from an early age, where we recognise and foster every child's unique abilities.
The philosophy of Aspire Tarneit Square is to provide a nurturing second home, where a comfortable vibe fills the air. Children have the freedom to express themselves in our well-crafted play spaces, essential for their development. Our passion for early learning in Tarneit is evident in every detail of our program, and we eagerly await the opportunity to welcome new families to our community.
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.
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 Early Education Tarneit Square 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.
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.
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 access the benefits of early learning and give them a strong foundation for a successful school experience.
Hi! I am Linda Naylor, the new Centre Manager for Aspire Tarneit Square
I was first led to the ECE industry due to my passion to work with young children and make a difference in their lives. I have worked in early learning for the past 17 years, in various roles within the industry. I started as a student doing placement studying my certificate 3 and now I have been managing centres for the past 12 years and have almost completed my bachelor's.
My hopes as the Centre Manager at Tarneit Square is to build a strong inclusive community amongst the families and Aspire team. To create a welcoming environment for all to come and be a part of.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family. We like to go on adventures in our caravan, watching my two older children play football and basketball is how most of my weekends are spent!
I can't wait to get to know the Aspire community now that Aspire Tarneit Square is now open. I truly look forward to building trusting relationships with families and children.
