Childcare Centre Highlights

Incursions play a large role in the development and growth of each child. Aspire Windermere incorporates incursions to align with Aspire’s curriculum, as well as the interests of the children. Incursions on topics such as tiny mini beasts and insects, first aid, sports, and talented magicians and face painters are frequent inclusions. 

At Aspire Windermere, 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. 

Our Windermere 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. 

Childcare Centre Facilities

Aspire Windermere will feature eight purpose-built indoor rooms and spacious outdoor areas supporting children's development from six weeks to six years old. Each room is filled with high-quality educational toys, books, crafts, and imaginative play experiences, ensuring endless opportunities for discovery and fun every day! 

Our service is a state-of-the-art facility with beautiful indoor and outdoor environments for children to learn and grow in. 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 philosophy of Aspire Windermere 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 Unity Park is evident in every detail of our program, and we eagerly await the opportunity to welcome new families to our community.

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 in reaching 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 Circle of Care at Aspire

What Our Families Have To Say

★★★★★

Aspire Mambourin has been absolutely fantastic with my child, from creating ongoing plans for behaviours, integrating his interests into the classroom and taking the time to create a bond with him. The staff/management are nurturing, proactive and always positive. We enjoy the weekly/holiday events as they give us more time to speak to the educators, see how the classroom runs and strengthen the relationship between families and educators/management. I would highly recommend Aspire Mambourin.

The centre has been a wonderful experience for my daughter. It provided her with a nurturing environment where she could explore and learn at her own pace. The hands-on activities and individualised attention helped her develop important skills early on. We are so grateful for the positive impact it’s had and continues to have on her growth and confidence! A huge shout out to Kanwal & Falguni for the outstanding support & care.

Ravi, family at Aspire Mambourin, VIC

★★★★★

This daycare has been absolutely amazing towards me and my son, very close to home which is convenient too. The staff/educators are very professional, but most of all friendly, kind and helpful, creating a safe space for my son to feel comfortable, settled and more confident with himself. The center is very clean, and I am happy to be able to keep tabs on Kinderm8 with my son's daily activities, food etc. I would highly recommend this daycare, as I personally appreciate all the efforts and kindness they have shown us during my son's stay. You guys are amazing Zoe, Claire, Kanwaljeet and everyone else, thank you for your hard work and reassurance knowing my son is well taken care of ????

★★★★★

This is an amazing center. Managed by the amazing Zoe who is so supportive, responsive & caring. Our favourite educator is Kye. My boy has the best day here, although drops-off can be hard there’s always a familiar friendly face for him at arrival. We love the consistency & transparency of the staff and how loving and caring they are. We know our boy is in great hands. Not to mention how beautiful the center is set up with great outdoor play! 100% recommend!!
