Papilio Early Learning Centres
Here at Papilio Early Learning Centres we aim to inspire a love of lifelong learning in children, through our fun, engaging child care and early education service for children aged 0-5 years.
Our passionate, qualified educators and teachers are trained in the Lifelong Learning Curriculum, and are experts at understanding how children grow and develop. We nurture children through these precious early stages of their lives in a caring, fun environment, encouraging them to gravitate towards their interests, create meaningful experiences, try new things and develop strong bonds and friendships along the way.
At Papilio, we have expanded our educational focus to include contemporary, evidence informed practices and programs, designed to provide your child with the best learning environment. Our lifelong learning approach aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework, and offers a rich combination of play-based and intentional teaching.
Most Papilio centres features an onsite cook who prepares fresh, healthy, nutritionally balanced meals for the children and babies every day. They love to involve the children in meal preparation and healthy food education, and the children love it too! Care is made to ensure children's daily nutritional needs, and any individual cultural and dietary requirements are met.
Papilio is proudly owned and operated by Affinity Education Group, the leading provider of early education and child care in Australia. We are driven by our professional goals and values and are committed to ensuring we provide the best early childhood experience for you and your children. Our mission is to inspire and nurture children to reach their full potential, and help them gravitate towards a lifetime of loving to learn.
