Avenues Early Learning Centre - Aspley

Included in the fees are extra-curricular classes such as:

• Music program – children of all age groups take part in a weekly music session with Hush Little Baby to develop their interest and skills. 

• Art program – the children visit the atelier with the centre’s in-house art teacher, where they explore various types of art; and the kindergarten children take part in Raw Art, an art program with lessons once a fortnight.

• Incursions: the children enjoy seeing regular visitors to the centre such as Henny Penny egg hatching, Dental to You, and Aquatic Achievers.

• Sports & fitness programs: the children take part in regular incursions such as Physi Kids, Happy Feet and Ginger Sports.

Avenues Early Learning Centre Aspley follows the Reggio Emilia approach. Educators view every child as a competent, capable, and unique learner, with a vast array of skills, knowledge, abilities, life experiences, and endless possibilities. The centre endeavors to build, nurture, and share each child’s learning journey by encouraging their uniquely different qualities of character, wellbeing, and identity. 

The team believe it is their role to foster each child’s understanding of respect and help build their resilience. Educators guide children to be active participants in their learning and to become responsible citizens within their community and the world.  

The children are offered a variety of educational activities throughout their day. Sensory based activities are a favourite – the children love engaging with playdough, goop, water play and more. Art experiences such as painting, collage, and drawing encourage imagination and creativity. Construction with blocks, magnets and recycled items like loose parts encourages divergent thinking and problem-solving skills. 

• Nursery: 6 weeks to 12 months
• Toddlers: 12 months to 2 years
• Junior Kindy: 2 years to 3 years
• Pre-Kindy: 2.5 years to 3.5 years
• Kindy: 3.5 years to 5 years

At Avenues Early Learning Centre Aspley, the educators are a group of sector professionals who are dedicated to seeing each child reach their full potential. They are committed to supporting the children and their families to help the children grow and develop through their most important years. The centre’s educational programs are inspired by Reggio Emilia and foster the children’s love of learning through following their interests and providing engaging and exciting opportunities and experiences. 

I have called Avenues Aspley my home for the last 5 and a half years, joining the family in 2016 and working as part of the management team from there. Since then, I have walked beside my team of Exceptional Educators, Children & Families, as we have grown in so many ways. We have welcomed beautiful children and families into our Avenues community - one being my own beautiful baby girl, who joined our tribe in 2021.  We have established relationships with our local schools and community members who help us to strengthen our understanding of the world around us.

I love to meet new families and learn all about them and their uniqueness. I am invested in gaining an understanding of each family that walks through my door and be one of the people that encourages them to reach their full potential. I offer support for all those times where families are unsure, a laugh for the funnier moments we have when raising our little ones and a shoulder for the harder times. I am here for every moment beside my families. I cannot wait to meet you and welcome you into my big family.

Simon, Centre Manager, Avenues Early Learning Centre Aspley

I have recently joined the management team here at Aspley, after working for another Avenues service for the past 11 years. It’s been an amazing opportunity to learn and grow with the company and I am loving being able to mentor and inspire my team to be the best educators they can be and make positive changes to this amazing centre.

Monny, Assistant Manager and Educational Leader

I’ve been working here at avenues Aspley for 5 years and a few months now and I’ve seen the centre change in many amazing ways. I couldn’t think of a better centre to be at. Management is always so understanding and are flexible with staff and their needs, co workers have become like family members and we all communicate with each other! The families we have here are all truly special and amazing!

Tegan, Kindy Educator

I’ve been working at Aspley Avenues for just over 5 years. I work with children of all ages to assist and watch them grow and develop. Over my time I have watched children grow and change into bigger children ready for school. At Avenues we are a team of welcoming and exciting educators that encourage and support children of all ages through interactions and their interest. We are excited to welcome new friends to our centre.

Nicole, Nursery Educator

The in-house chef at Avenues Early Learning Centre Aspley provides freshly made morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and a late snack for the children. All food is all prepared in accordance with the Australian Health Eating Guide and everything is created with the children’s health and nutrition in mind. 

The centre has a herb garden which allows the children to care for the plants which are then used in the kitchen for their lunches. The children enjoy meals such as chicken fried rice, pumpkin pasta, homemade beef & vegetable sausage rolls, sandwiches & wraps, as well as vegetable and beef lasagne.

The centre offers unique outdoor areas, with a large balcony area upstairs which can transform from a playspace into an outdoor dining room, a place for children to enjoy their meals and sharing in conversations with friends.
