Lifelong Learning Curriculum
Papilio Early Learning's qualified educators and teachers are trained in the Lifelong Learning Curriculum for ages 0-5. This curriculum has been developed by Affinity Education, the leading provider of early childhood education in Australia.
At Papilio, we nurture a lifelong love of learning through a combination of play-based and intentional teaching experiences which help your child develop:
- Social connectivity
- Emotional confidence
- Foundational learning
- Physical health and wellbeing
The Lifelong Learning Curriculum is based on the belief that learning and development occurs most successfully when supported by nurturing and engaged educators, in partnership with families and communities.
The curriculum draws on the best models of early education, contemporary research and evidence informed practices such as Circle of Security, Abecedarian, and Project Based Learning. Aligning closely to Australia's Early Years Learning Framework, it is based on what children learn, where they learn and how they learn.
Our goal at Papilio is to grow and instill a lifelong love of learning in children’s first five years so they can realise their full potential.

How We Help Children Reach Their Full Potential
Papilio Early Learning educators and teachers are attuned to the needs, personalities and interests of each child and establish trusting and secure relationships to allow children to feel the confidence to connect with others and explore their learning potential. We carefully document and analyse children’s learning and participation, and after reflection and consultation with children and families, use this information to guide curriculum decisions, program provisions and interactions. We engage with children in play and conversation, to support learning and acquisition of new skills. And our educators provide inclusive environments which allow for choice, challenge, group engagement or solitary play and a flexible routine that adapts with the children’s natural rhythms, interests and needs.
