Welcome to Papilio Early Learning! We provide high quality early education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years in a safe, nurturing and fun environment.

Our team of educators and teachers at Papilio Early Learning are specially trained in our unique Lifelong Learning Curriculum. The Lifelong Learning Curriculum is Australia’s most progressive approach to early education for children. Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum draws on current research, evidence informed practices and specific age group programs such as The Circle of Security in our babies’ rooms, Abecedarian Language Priority for our Toddlers and Inquiry Based Learning Projects for Kindergarten children.

Our Early Learning Centre has a range of inspiring environments for children to explore, including spacious outdoor play areas that encourage children to test their limits, build strength, and develop self-confidence. We also offer a range of incursions, focused on fitness and health, animals and nature, and the larger community. We provide fresh and nutritious meals for the children each day.

Our indoor and outdoor environments are carefully designed to nurture each child's growth and inspire a lifelong love for learning. Our dedication to excellence shines through in every aspect, from our curriculum delivery to our unwavering commitment to providing safe, high-quality services.

    A most welcoming, lovely and nurturing place for your little one to be! My 2 year old loved attending this amazing centre. He loved all the educators and built trusting and friendly relationships. The children are all happy and when they are having a sad moment they are supported and comforted by the educators. The rooms are all set up wonderfully, it is a small centre with only 3 rooms which we loved! Each room was age appropriate and homely with soft rugs and kid sized lounges. Good range of toys. The outdoor space was always clean and had a great range of outdoor options including a big sandpit, fort, slide, shade sales, a garden and other outdoor toys. The food menu always looked appealing and birthdays are celebrated amongst the children. The children are involved in cooking and gardening activities. Lots of lovely singing and group activities. Bottom line this is a wonderful and nurturing environment and I would highly recommend to anyone needing to put their precious children in care.

    Amazing daycare. Our son has been going since he was 4 months old and has had a great team of educators the whole time. The team have been amazing with ongoing allergies and the chef is very involved with the children with activities that teach children about food and healthy eating.

    Thank you Sally for your wonderful review! We always strive to prioritise healthy eating, with our chef preparing nutritious meals and engaging the children in fun food-related activities. We're so glad to support your son's needs and appreciate your trust in us!

    Thank you very much for caring for our son these past 2 years - we have been exceedingly happy with Papilio. You have some amazing staff and our son has thoroughly loved his time with you! We are now continuing his education through other schools, but are very grateful for the wonderful developmental foundation you have provided for him.

    Response from the owner11 months ago

    Thank you for your lovely review Jeff! We have absolutely loved having your beautiful son in the centre. We are sad to see him go but exciting for him to be continuing on his learning journey.

    We love Papilio Barton. Our little guy struggled at first but the team put in extra effort to make sure he, and us, felt comfortable and well taken care of. The team are so amazing at welcoming our little one each morning and making him feel loved and comfortable by the one on one attention. He now loves going to daycare and the daily updates that the team share with us really make you feel apart of his day. The space is fantastic too, the indoors area gives them ample room to roam when they can’t go outside. The play equipment they have set up outside give our little one the ability to explore, challenge himself and try new activities in a safe environment. We also love that the nursery only has a maximum of 16 Babies/toddlers. There is always ample staff looking after our little ones all day. We can’t recommend this place highly enough.
