About
At Inspira Kids Sydenham, we believe every child deserves a safe, nurturing, and inspiring place to learn and develop. Conveniently located for families in Sydenham and the surrounding north-west suburbs, our centre provides quality childcare and early learning for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years.
Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), our programs support the whole child by supporting social, emotional, and cognitive growth through play-based activities.
From our nursery to kindergarten, we offer flexible care options, wholesome meals, and a welcoming community where children build confidence, independence, and readiness for school. With caring educators and a supportive environment, we prepare every child for a confident start to school.

Our Learning Approach
The C.O.R.E Literacy Program goes further than teaching early reading and writing. It inspires children to enjoy learning as a lifelong journey.
Through rich experiences that enhance listening, spoken expression and a true passion for stories, children develop strong language skills and the confidence to communicate with clarity.
C – Child-centred
O – Opportunities maximised for each child
