Our Logo Our Story

Our logo was developed to include aspects of my culture and as an analogy of the purpose of Aspire Early Childhood Consultancy. It was revamped in November 2021 to include the professional supervision arm of the business.

The orange and blue colours were chosen to reflect the sea and the land of which I love to spend time by the river and ocean, and to admire the beautiful natural environment where I live.  The leaf symbolizes growth as well as support. Did you know the primary purpose of the veins within a leaf is to carry food and water throughout the leaf?  They also provide support for the leaf.  This is what we aim to do at Aspire; provide opportunities for growth and support through consultancy and professional development that will feed and sustain you in your important work with young children, families and communities. Each different colour within the leaf also depicts different aspects of the business.  You will see each section is not perfectly equal in size and shape.  Each individual staff member, team, service is unique in it’s characteristics, personalities, culture, experience and knowledge.  We do not provide a one size fits all service.  

Our service like a leaf is supportive, encourages growth and sustenance so you are well equipped to fulfil your goals in your life and work.
