Welcome to Papilio, premium quality early education and child care for children aged 0-5 years. Our caring, qualified educators teach through play and discovery, while our unique enrichment experiences and supportive learning environments inspire children to reach their full potential.
Your child will explore their identity; learn to express and understand emotions in themselves and in others; develop confidence in their own abilities; and build resilience.
Your child will learn to engage with others; to develop social skills such as listening, sharing and turn taking; and understand their impact on others.
Your child will learn early literacy and numeracy skills; the use of writing implements; and research, discovery and creative thinking.
Your child will learn about healthy living; increase independence in self-care practices; and enhance physical skills.
At Papilio, we nurture a lifelong love of learning through a combination of play-based and intentional teaching experiences which help your child develop emotional confidence, social connectivity, foundational learning, and physical health and wellbeing.
Our qualified teachers and experienced educators are trained in Affinity Education's Lifelong Learning Curriculum, Australia's most advanced approach to early education.
Exclusive to Affinity Education operated centres, the Lifelong Learning Curriculum draws on the best models of early education, including the traditional practices from Montessori and Reggio Emilia, but also incorporates contemporary research and evidence informed practices drawn from attachment theory and the Circle of Security, language development from Abecedarian, and Project Based Learning.
Your baby will start their journey with us in a safe, nurturing environment. Our educators are recognised for their loving and caring commitment to each baby’s individual needs.
Your toddler will enjoy an exciting environment in which to explore and experiment as their confidence and social skills emerge. At Papilio, they will laugh, learn and thrive.
Our School Readiness program stimulates young minds, builds confidence, resilience and positive self image, and supports children’s transition to school.

I cannot recommend Papilio Early learning highly enough! This wonderful center is truly child-centered, focusing on the unique interests and individual development of each child. The educators are incredibly caring and dedicated, providing an environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to explore and learn. What sets this center apart is their deep respect for families. They actively incorporate family goals and maintain open communication, making parents feel like true partners in the child's education and growth. Every staff member goes above and beyond to ensure that both children and parents are supported and well-informed.

We have two children at Papillio and have been attending for over 3 years. We initially chose the centre due to its stable and experienced team of educators, however that is now only one of the many reasons we love it. The staff work as a team, the educators are all dedicated and knowledgeable, the learning curriculum is amazing and the manager and assistant manager have both worked at the centre for many years (so absolutely know every child, family and team member). We have moved suburbs but can’t bring ourselves to leave the centre due to the amazing relationships the educators have built with our children and how much we trust the centre.
