Early Education & Kindergarten Pakenham

At Aspire, your daily fee covers so much more than just care. It includes nutritious meals prepared by our on-site chefs, nappies and wipes, engaging learning programs, and the support of our passionate, qualified educators. Aspire childcare centres frequently run engaging and exciting excursions throughout the year.
We pay the some of the highest fees in the area, all this so they can make even more money. They have now confirmed that the reduced hours will not see a reduction in the fee they charge. The high turnover childcare centre near pakenh of staff and telling departing employees not to tell families is also a very strange practice. My both boys attend this centre and i know every educator, centre manager and the whole management team there. As a mother i have numerous concerns and queries but gaya and her team always makes sure to answer them and attend to my issues urgently. We tailor our educational curriculums, menus, and programs to reflect the needs and cultures of our communities, creating safe, respectful spaces for every child and family.

The team at Great Beginnings Pakenham go above and beyond for each family member. Each team member always puts the children’s needs first, embracing their individuality and providing quality care for all. We value safety and always ensure we follow practices that align with quality care and support our environments, families, educators, children, and communities. The approach at the centre is very much based around partnership between families and educators.
We balance curriculum-based and play-based learning to ensure children are set up for success as they transition to school. Our educators use the StoryPark platform to share photos and stories, keeping parents connected and engaged in  their child’s day. It’s a secure way for families to feel part of the learning journey, no matter where they are.
All educators Kiran, Manpreet, Niroshi and Kamal are so caring. Gayanee and Harpeet( Chef) greets me every morning with smile . The educators observe the children every day and tailor the program around their observations. They share these with parents, so they can feel connected to their child’s progress and also provide feedback that will further enhance their child’s learning experience. Play is the order of the day of Goodstart Early Learning and the programs at the centre are grounded in a play-based approach.

I couldn't be more satisfied and would wholeheartedly recommend this centre to any parent seeking exceptional care. We recently transferred our son to Creative Gardens Pakenham, and it’s been the best decision we’ve made for his growth and development. Nikki and Saumya, the lead educators, made the transition so smooth our son settled in faster and better than we ever expected.
This program helps prepare your child for a successful transition to kindergarten and formal learning. I am absolutely so happy with the experience we have had with Aspire Huntly Village! My son (2) absolutely loves being there, and his big sister with ASD Level 3 has just recently started, and all the educators and staff have just been incredible in supporting her journey.

Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way. Daniela is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Daniela and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Daniela is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength. We strive to offer high community involvement with opportunities for the children to get out and about in the local community as well as developing the partnership with the school.
This is a digital, play-based program that inspires children to learn a new language. Through the program, they'll develop their social, cognitive and digital skills and learn about other cultures. Our high quality resources and play spaces support the best outcomes for learning.
But it’s the communication that makes me so happy, they are always so  easy to deal with and so helpful always updating on what my son has done throughout the day. Dear Brittany, thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. Dear Miriam, thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review.

Our ARTS curriculum empowers children to be creative and persistent using real-world tools, open-ended materials, and imaginative play. Through music, movement, and drama, children retell stories, collaborate, and express themselves. These experiences build strong language, literacy, and creative skills both in the classroom and the wider community. Our families love hearing about their child’s progress and the experiences they’re having day to day. We share these moments through centre newsletters, our Xplor App, one-on-one meetings, and at various centre events.
