Experienced Educators Who Support Every Child

At Aspire Riverwalk, our fully qualified educators provide nurturing, high-quality care every day. We work closely with families to understand each child’s unique needs and deliver a personalised learning experience.

Connecting with the Werribee Community

Being part of the local community matters to us. At Aspire Riverwalk, we build meaningful connections that help children understand the world around them and feel a strong sense of belonging.

Childcare Centre Highlights

As well as our awesome play spaces, Aspire Werribee childcare offers a range of educational and fun learning experiences throughout the week! These incursions allow each child to build all kinds of skills to set them up for success at school and beyond.

  • Tuesday: Music and movement with StrongFitKids 
  • Wednesday: Unlock your creative side with Sketchroo (Kinder only)

Aspire's developmental and educational programs cater to each child’s individual needs, abilities, and interests. Our programs continue to develop as we use the relationships children have with their families and communities, working in partnership with parents to ensure each child’s knowledge, ideas, culture, abilities, and interests are the foundation of our programs.

Aspire childcare centres also run engaging and exciting excursions throughout the year. This differs from centre to centre, but may include excursions such as Bush Kinder, farm visits, walking to a local park or to local primary schools. 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.

At Aspire Werribee, 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.

Childcare Centre Facilities

Aspire Werribee consists of 9 well-equipped rooms including our nursery, toddler, and kindergarten hubs. Our beautiful childcare centre is designed to inspire children, to be interested and excited about their learning. Aspire's indoor rooms are stimulating, safe and secure and have been purposefully designed for each specific age group.

We strongly emphasise community values, and we foster a lifelong love of learning and a sense of belonging for all. We do this by hosting a range of fun community events and connecting with local schools and businesses. Because of this, we ensure that children can be a part of a community throughout their learning journey. 

Our Riverwalk Nature Trail program is run in the Riverwalk Village Park, which allows children to immerse themselves in the local Werribee community, instilling their sense of belonging and helping them to understand the world around them.

We are fortunate to have an expansive outdoor area that connects seamlessly with our indoor rooms, giving children the opportunity to enjoy fresh air and sunshine. Our outdoor environment features a fort, train, and life-size plane for children to explore and learn.

Outdoor experiences provide an opportunity for children to explore, discover and appreciate the natural world, as well as be active and strengthen fine and gross motor movement skills.

Werribee 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.

Centre Manager

Coco Yuan

Hi everyone, my name is Coco Yuan and I’m the Centre Manager at Aspire Riverwalk.

I’ve been working in early childhood education since 2008 and have held roles including Room Leader, 2IC, Centre Manager and Curriculum Support, supporting centres across Victoria and Western Australia.

What I love most about Aspire is the strong sense of community and shared values. The Aspire values that resonate most with me are Empowering Excellence and Connecting Communities. I enjoy supporting educators to grow while building strong relationships with children, families and our local community.

My leadership style is warm, supportive and empowering. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, I believe children are capable and curious learners and I strive to create a positive, inclusive environment where everyone feels valued.

Fun fact: I’m a proud cat owner (my cat is named Poffertjes, after the Dutch pancake) and I’m a big coffee lover.

What Our Families Have To Say

★★★★★

We have had a wonderful experience to date with Aspire. The team have been welcoming and informative from the day we toured the centre. We receive great communication and support from management. My daughter loves her room educators who are caring, passionate and creative. I appreciate the attention to detail with the daily photo highlights and journals as well reading her individual learning stories and term goals.

Kristel, family at Aspire Riverwalk Werribee, VIC

★★★★★

We LOVE Aspire Riverwalk!! We have been here since it opened and have had nothing but positive experiences. The centre is beautiful, clean and modern, with two big outdoor areas for children to run around freely in. The staff and management are amazing. They are all so invested in the children and it really feels like a little family. They provide daily updates in regards to your child, what they’ve eaten, if they’ve slept, photos etc. On a few occasions when my daughter was very unsettled they even sent me messages through the app during the day reassuring me that she was ok. Can’t recommend Aspire Riverwalk enough. It’s so refreshing and comforting knowing I’ve found a fantastic centre for my children to attend. We’ve been to a few in the area and none compare!!

Brooke, family at Aspire Riverwalk Werribee, VIC

★★★★★

The team at Aspire are nothing short of amazing. They are so friendly, caring and passionate in caring for not only my children but all the children that attend. The educators are attentive to each individuals needs, going above and beyond every time. The centre itself is set out so well. The rooms are colourful and fun! Management are always transparent, great at communicating and are always creating fun days/events for our children.

Ashley, family at Aspire Riverwalk Werribee, VIC

★★★★★

When we moved our son to Aspire Riverwalk after relocating to the area we realised how great a childcare centre could be. My son is so happy here. The educators have all formed beautiful relationships with my son and really care about the kids. They do lots of outdoor play every day, and heaps of structured activity opportunities as well as open unstructured ones. They have great age appropriate expectations of the children and we get a daily room report on what they've been up to with photos.

Simone, family at Aspire Riverwalk Werribee, VIC

★★★★★

This centre is my son's first childcare and the educators handled his admission and settling in really well. The educators are very professional and skilled and the dietary requirements for kids are also met. The kids also enjoy being outdoors with a lot of play areas and fun events. Regular updates on happenings inside the room to gauge what your kid is upto. Ample car parking space is also available. Overall an excellent care centre in the community.
