Meet Our Team
Aleisha von Saldern, our Centre Manager at Milestones Bushland Beach, has dedicated over 9 years to early childhood education, earning a Diploma in Early Childhood Education along the way. Her passion for early learning shines through in everything she does. Aleisha finds immense joy in witnessing children explore, create, and imagine, and she takes pride in knowing she plays a part in helping them achieve these magical moments of discovery. For her, nothing beats the feeling of being involved in the children’s learning journey, where each day brings something new and exciting.
One of Aleisha’s most cherished memories at the centre was during a centre-wide messy play day, where both educators and children got involved in fun, interactive wet play. She recalls being asked by a child to “come down here” because she was “just too tall,” only to be playfully covered in goop and asked for a photo to show Mum. It’s these moments of connection, fun, and community that make Aleisha’s time at the centre so special.
Aleisha is committed to ensuring that every child at Milestones Bushland Beach feels safe, heard, and valued. She fosters a culture of communication and transparency with families, believing that strong relationships between educators and parents are key to creating a sense of belonging and comfort for the children - a true home away from home.
Known for her warm, approachable nature, Aleisha also loves sharing fun moments with the children. One quirky fact about her? She can’t wink - much to the children's amusement, as they love to show her their newly mastered winking skills.

Our experienced educators deliver age-specific programs designed to support each stage of development, helping children grow in confidence, curiosity, and capability every step of the way.
Babies (0-1 years)
Healthy Beginnings Program
Grounded in attachment theory and the relationship practices, this program focuses on building secure, responsive relationships between babies and their educators. With nurturing care and emotional attunement, we support babies’ overall wellbeing and development.
Toddlers (1-3 years)
Early Experiences Program
Inspired by the Abecedarian Approach, our toddler program emphasises language-rich interactions, such as conversational reading and learning games. These early experiences build the foundations for strong communication, social skills, and cognitive growth.
Preschool or Kindergarten (3-5 years)
School Readiness Program
Through Project-Based Learning, children are encouraged to explore big ideas, solve problems, and collaborate with others. This hands-on, inquiry-driven approach develops critical thinking, independence, and a love of learning that lasts.
Committed to Safety and Quality
At Milestones, your child’s safety, wellbeing, and early learning journey are our highest priorities. We follow strict safety protocols as part of our Safety Commitment and operate in line with the National Quality Framework - Australia’s benchmark for early childhood education - ensuring high standards, consistency, and a nurturing environment where every child can thrive.
