Aspire Beveridge Childcare provides a safe, nurturing and inspiring early learning environment for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Our team is committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where children can learn, explore, and grow with confidence. Families choose our Beveridge childcare centre because we offer:
We understand that choosing the right childcare centre is an important decision. Families choose our Beveridge childcare centre because we offer:
Located on Mallaig Drive, close to Beveridge Primary School and Beveridge Recreation Reserve, our childcare centre is conveniently located for families in Beveridge and surrounding communities.
At our Beveridge childcare centre, our play-based learning programs are designed to support children at every stage of development, from infancy through to kindergarten. Our educators use the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the Victorian Early Years Learning and Development Framework (VEYLDF) to create meaningful learning experiences.
Our Beveridge 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.
At Aspire Beveridge, we believe strong community connections help children feel a sense of belonging and build confidence in the world around them.
Our community connections include:
We offer exciting incursion programs that provide new experiences for the children and help them develop new interests and skills. At Aspire Beveridge, we offer an engaging movement program called Magical Days Kindy Dancing run by Magic Jenny on a fortnightly basis, as well as a Yoga program run by Melbourne Kids Yoga and Creative Dance.
The childcare centre also offers one-off incursion programs throughout the term, including reptile incursions, butterfly incursions, recycling incursions, cooking incursions and more.
Aspire daycare centres frequently 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 childcare 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 childcare 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 crafts, 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. Additionally, our programs actively promote the message of environmental consciousness and sustainability.
I love empowering my team to grow, learn, and refine their skills so they can provide the highest quality care. Being a leader and working closely with all my staff is such a rewarding part of the job. My goal is also to ensure that families feel Beveridge is a welcoming home away from home – a place where they feel connected, supported, and part of our community.
I’ve always been very passionate about working in early education and love the different experiences including messy play, sensory play and art projects. I’m equally committed to strengthening community connections and coordinating events that foster belonging and collaboration.
I’m passionate about creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children feel valued and confident to learn through play-based experiences. I believe strong relationships with children, families, and educators are essential for supporting positive learning and development.
As an Educational Leader, I enjoy supporting and empowering educators to grow professionally and deliver high-quality learning programs for children. I’m also committed to continuing my own learning journey and developing my leadership skills to achieve the best outcomes for children and families.
Hear from parents who’ve experienced the care, quality
and connection that make Aspire different.
Loved the activities for the children at the community open day today.

We’ve been really happy with Aspire Beveridge so far. The educators are friendly and caring, and our child settled in much quicker than we expected.

The outdoor play areas are fantastic, with plenty of space and engaging activities that encourage learning through play. Communication with families is excellent, and the staff are always friendly and approachable. It’s reassuring to know our child is happy, supported, and excited to attend each day. We highly recommend Aspire Beveridge to any family looking for a high-quality childcare centre.

Since under the new management… clearly lots of improvement. My son was struggling to settle only feel secure with one educator in the room. Management ensured to put that educator to settle him. Now he is settled and loves to go. His toddler Room 2 educators are amazing, huge thanks to the team and your dedication towards children.

We know handing your child over to someone else is one of the hardest things a parent does. Here’s exactly how we keep them safe.
Only authorised people can drop off or collect your child. Our centres use controlled access points and require photo ID verification for anyone not on your authorised pickup list.
Every educator holds a current Working With Children Check. Our teams include diploma and degree-qualified staff, with qualified teacher ratios that exceed national requirements.
Through the StoryPark app, you receive photos, observations and daily updates directly from your child's room. You can message educators and see what your child has been up to, any time.
Aspire operates under the National Child Safe Standards across every centre. Our policies, spaces and staffing are designed with visibility and supervision at the centre of everything.
Aspire Early Education and Kindergarten operates in a long daycare setting and has four main education programs, tailored to each stage of early development.

Throughout the month of June, the Aspire community enthusiastically participated in a Heart-a-thon to craft pocket hearts for Life's Little Treasures Foundation (LLTF).
LLTF is one of Australia’s leading charities dedicated to providing practical support, information and assistance to families of babies born prematurely or sick. LLTF’s vision is to ensure that all families enduring the difficult and life-changing experience of having a premature/sick baby have easy access to critical information and community support.
LLTF know how difficult it is for families with a baby in the neonatal unit, that's why they developed the Little Bag of Calm. The bag includes tips, tools and activities all aimed at encouraging parents to take a moment for self care. Within the bag is a pocket heart. Pocket hearts, hand-sewn with love and care, serve as heartfelt keepsakes for families to hold close and treasure. These pocket hearts offer a reminder that families are not alone in their journey and that LLTF is there to provide support.
We are delighted to announce that the Aspire community has successfully crafted an impressive total of 12,531 pocket hearts to be donated to LLTF.
The dedicated staff and families of Aspire Thornhill Park contributed 2,658 of these meaningful creations. These heartfelt gestures will undoubtedly make a significant difference in the lives of numerous families.

On Thursday 14th of September was R U OK?Day, which is a national day of action to remind Australians that every day is the day to ask, ‘are you OK?’ and to start a meaningful conversation whenever they spot the signs that someone they care about might be struggling with life.
It is an important day to reflect on mental health and our general wellbeing, as it is often such a silent issue. This year’s theme “I’m here to hear”, emphasises that you don’t need to be an expert to reach out – just a good friend and a great listener.
Many of our Aspire Childcare centres, as well as our Head office, recognised this day by having a morning tea and dressing up in yellow, and our Aspire families were also invited. It was a great day for all of us to come together and spread the message. We also provided a range of resources and spoke about the importance of supporting one another and reaching out to those who may be struggling with their mental health.
At Aspire, we strongly support our employees’ health and wellbeing, and provide our employees access to an Employment Assistance Program (EAP). This is a tool that is available to our employees 24/7 and a beneficial resource for them to use.
If you do see someone in your life struggling, have a conversation using these four steps:
1. Ask R U OK?
2. Listen
3. Encourage action
4. Check in

On Thursday 6 of September our Aspire centres celebrated Early Childhood Educator's Day. This day recognises and celebrates the work of Australia’s educators in early learning services for the important role they play in supporting children’s wellbeing, learning and development in the early years.
To celebrate our wonderful Aspire educators, our centres enjoyed a range of delicious food and treats and were given special gift packs to take home.
Leading up to the day, we also invited our Aspire families to leave a message of gratitude for their child's educators. We were blown away with the many thoughtful messages about our educators from families showing their appreciation. Our educators were so grateful to read these messages recognising their hard work. See one of the messages we received from a Wollert family below.
“I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible care and support you provide to my child at Aspire. Your dedication and commitment to nurturing not only their physical needs but also their emotional and educational growth have made a profound impact on my kid. Your patience, kindness, and ability to create a warm and inclusive environment have helped my child feel safe and happy while away from home. Your regular updates and willingness to address any concerns or questions have provided us with peace of mind and trust in the care you provide.”

From 18-22 September, our Aspire centres participated in a Book Donation Drive, supporting Life’s Little Treasures Foundation (LLTF). While parents are in hospital with their sick or premature baby, other children in the family also spend a lot of time there.
Our aim of the book drive was to donate picture books for these children to enjoy while they are spending extensive amounts of time in hospital.
Many of our Kindergarten families were kind enough to participate and donated a copy of their child’s favourite book to share with these children whose family is in hospital. We collected these books at a collection point at each of our centres, where they will then be distributed to families through the Life’s Little Treasures Foundation hospital program.
Cards were also written with special messages and calico bags were decorated by the kinder children to be delivered with the books. See images below.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Book Drive. We collected over 100 books across our Aspire centres. This is an amazing effort from our Aspire families, and we appreciate your ongoing support for the LLTF community.
With a large focus on community at Aspire, we are proud to have formed such a meaningful partnership with Life’s Little Treasures and are so thankful for all the families who participated.
We look forward to our next event with LLTF, the annual Walk for Prems Events in Bendigo and Melbourne. To find out more about Walk for Prems visit the website here, and register with our Aspire team.
On Sunday 22nd October, the Aspire team participated in the Walk for Prems Melbourne event.
Walk for Prems 2023 is the largest annual fundraiser by Life’s Little Treasures Foundation, Australia’s foremost charity dedicated to supporting the families of babies born sick or premature. It's families helping families. This year Aspire Early Education & Kindergarten was a major sponsor of Walk for Prems.
Life’s Little Treasures Foundation (LLTF) is one of Australia’s leading charities dedicated to providing practical support, information and assistance to families of babies born prematurely or sick. Founded in 2005 by parents who had experienced this first-hand, LLTF truly understands the challenges that these families face.
LLTF’s vision is to ensure that all families enduring the difficult and life changing experience of having a premature/sick baby have easy access to critical information and community support. LLTF services are available in the hospital (neonatal and special care units) and in the community when families come home.
In its 14th year, Walk for Prems took place at nine locations across Australia during the month of October.
Walk for Prems Melbourne took place at Albert Park Lake with participants enjoying a 5km walk. There were plenty of activities for families including face painting, a photo booth, and jumping castles. Children also enjoyed sports activities and sensory play experiences provided by Aspire.
The community is at the heart of all we do and we are so proud to be a part of such a special event supporting LLTF.
