Healthy Beginnings
Babies aged 0-1 years
We know your baby’s earliest emotional, social and physical experiences will have a direct impact on their future resilience and wellbeing, and we are here to support that journey. Papilio's Healthy Beginnings nursery program offers babies aged birth to 1 year a safe, nurturing environment to begin their early learning journey.
Our qualified childcare educators are trained and accredited in the Lifelong Learning Curriculum by Affinity Education Group. This incorporates the Circle of Security, Attachment Theory, and Key Educator approach.
Our educators are recognised for their loving and caring commitment to each baby’s individual needs, and happily adapt to your baby’s routine.

- Lifelong Learning Curriculum
- Stretch & Grow Zone
- Cozy Corner
- Completely Connected Zone

- Sensory stimulation to spark curiosity

What Babies Learn
During their first year, babies develop trust in people and their environment. Without this secure foundation, learning in other areas cannot flourish. Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum supports those first connections, allowing emotional security, self-identity and self-confidence to emerge.
How Babies Learn
Through their strong relationships, our trained and accredited educators are able to ‘tune in’ to the individual preferences and personalities of your baby. They partner closely with families to create a Circle of Security so babies will thrive. Your baby will experience personalised care from qualified and credentialed educators, positive socialisation with other babies, flexible feeding and sleep routines and more.
Where Babies Learn
Our Healthy Beginnings nurseries are thoughtfully designed, with spaces for babies to explore and play, safely sleep and enjoy their meals. Look beyond the toys and you’ll see the careful planning and understanding of how babies develop and learn in their first year. Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum zones include stretch & grow, cosy corner, completely connected and discovery.
