Aspire Early Education & Kindergarten White Hills is our second childcare centre, located in Victoria's regional town of Bendigo in the suburb of White Hills. Our White Hills childcare centre is located close to White Hills Primary School and Bendigo’s beautiful Lake Weeroona Park. The daycare centre includes six spacious rooms that support children through their entire learning journey, from nursery to kindergarten.
Our White Hills childcare 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. Our teachers possess comprehensive knowledge of both the Early Years Learning Framework and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework, which offers every child the opportunity to succeed.
At Aspire White Hills, we’re committed to connecting children and families with the wider Bendigo 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 childcare centres offer regular incursion programs that provide fun and engaging educational and learning experiences for the children. Some stand-outs include a visit from a butterfly incursion program and an animal farm incursion, amongst others.
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.
Aspire long daycare 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. The six 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 six 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.
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 will 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.






Hi, I’m Bree, the Centre Manager at Aspire White Hills. I love working for Aspire because they listen to the individual needs of each centre and work collaboratively to achieve the best possible outcomes for educators and children. At Aspire I can create a space that feels like home. Ensuring that babies and children feel safe, nurtured and deeply cared for is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.
My goal is that all educators in the centre feel valued, supported and emotionally safe because only then are they able to provide the highest quality learning and care for children.
The Aspire value that resonates with me most is connecting communities. I am a true believer in the power of building meaningful relationships not only within the team but with the wider community. Having the opportunity to connect with families, local organisations and the people around us allows us to create a sense of belonging and leave a positive footprint.
I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care and I started my career in early childhood in 2017. Beginning as a trainee I quickly fell in love with the industry. From the very beginning I knew I wanted to guide children in their early years helping them grow, gain confidence and develop a love for lifelong learning. I soon stepped into a room leader role where I spent several years guiding, mentoring and nurturing both children and educators. Eventually I became a Centre Manager which strengthened my leadership skills and deepened my commitment to quality education and care. I am incredibly proud to have spent eight years with the same company growing both personally and professionally before beginning an exciting new chapter with Aspire at White Hills.
Outside of work I have a beautiful partner Georgi, three beautiful and funny kids and two dogs who we tell about 850 times that we love them before we go to sleep.
