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.

    We enrolled our 3-year-old at the learning centre six months ago and couldn't be happier with our decision! The facilities are bright, clean and thoughtfully designed with engaging learning spaces both indoors and in their beautiful natural playground. I've been particularly impressed with their educational program that balances structured learning with creative play. My daughter's language skills have flourished since starting here!

    It is so wonderful to hear how much your daughter is thriving, Austine! Our team takes great pride in creating engaging spaces and meaningful learning experiences, so your feedback truly means the world. Thank you for trusting us to be part of her journey ~ we are so excited to see her continue to grow and shine with us!

    After trying three different childcare centres, we finally found a gem in Papilio Early Learning. The biggest difference? The staff turnover is incredibly low, which means the educators truly bond with the children and provide consistent, high-quality care. Unlike other centres where new faces come and go, Papilio’s team works together seamlessly, ensuring everyone is on the same page. You can tell they genuinely care—not just about the kids, but about creating a warm, supportive environment for families too. Now that my child has started Prep, she misses Papilio so much! It really shows how much of a positive impact the educators had on her. She talks about the teachers and friends she made there all the time, which just confirms how nurturing and special this place is. The facilities are fantastic, the learning programs are engaging, and most importantly, the educators make every child feel safe, loved, and valued. If you're looking for a childcare centre where your child will be truly cared for, I highly recommend Papilio Early Learning!

    What a beautiful reflection on your experience with us, Nick! It is incredibly meaningful to hear how much of an impact our educators had on your child and your family. Building strong, lasting relationships is so important to us, and knowing that your little one still talks about her time here is truly heartwarming. Wishing her all the best in Prep, and we hope to see you again soon!

    The team at Papilio Bowen Hills have made returning to work a breeze. It brings me such joy to know that they adore my little one and to know that she is having so much fun everyday with them. We love being able to go through the photos from the day as a family and seeing all the exciting things she gets to experience.
