About Papilio Early Learning Camberwell

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.

For families, the centre provides full transparency including real time updates and communication via the Storypark App. This ongoing partnership promotes continuity of learning and is important to help children make a smooth transition to primary school.

We welcome new families to call and learn more about our unique Curriculum or visit our website to book a tour or join our waitlist.

    We have had a really positive experience with Papilio Camberwell. The staff have been consistently kind, patient, and attentive, and it is clear they genuinely care about the children. Since starting, we’ve noticed real growth in our daughter — especially in her social confidence and communication skills. She comes home more independent, expressive, and the story times we get daily are great. It’s been nice to see her engaging with staff and other kids and enjoying her time there. The environment feels safe, warm, and well-organized, and we’ve always appreciated the updates and openness from the team. We’re grateful to have found a place that supports our daughter’s development in such a balanced, thoughtful way. Highly recommend!

Our team truly values building those meaningful connections, and we are so glad that has come through. We love having your family as part of our Papilio Camberwell community.

    My girl started at Papilio Camberwell last year and we’ve had such a great experience so far. The educators are super friendly, helpful and really made the whole settling-in process easy for us. Especially thanks Anne, Chelvi, Sandra, Sophie & Elleen. My girl so attached to them 😊. They’ve helped her build a great daily routine, and she’s always excited to go. There’s such a nice variety of activities — from outdoor play, building blocks, kids yoga, to cooking and more. I especially love getting the daily photo updates from the centre — it’s so lovely to see how much fun the kids are having. You can really tell they enjoy being there. Priya, the Centre manager, is also very helpful, always fast response on my enquiry/ request. Highly recommend!

Your kind words truly mean the world to us!
