Start Your Child’s Learning Journey with Us
At Papilio Early Learning, your child will benefit from our exclusive Lifelong Learning Curriculum - Australia’s most advanced approach to early childhood education. Grounded in the latest research and designed to support children from infancy to school readiness, our curriculum nurtures every stage of development through play-based, purposeful learning.
From their very first day, children build strong foundations in communication, confidence, and emotional wellbeing, while engaging in enriching programs that include STEM, early literacy and numeracy, creative arts, and more. It’s not just preparation for school - it’s preparation for life.
Nurturing Growth from 0–5 Years
At Papilio Early Learning, we provide more than care - we deliver high-quality early education in a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment for children aged six weeks to five years. Our experienced educators tailor learning experiences to each child’s developmental stage, with age-appropriate programs designed to build confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning. With a strong focus on emotional wellbeing and holistic development, we’re here to support your child’s growth - every step of the way.
Babies (0-1 years)
Healthy Beginnings Program
Grounded in attachment theory and relationship practices, this program focuses on building secure, responsive relationships between babies and their educators. With nurturing care and emotional attunement, we support babies’ overall wellbeing and development.
Toddlers (1-3 years)
Early Experiences Program
Inspired by the Abecedarian Approach, our toddler program emphasises language-rich interactions, such as conversational reading and learning games. These early experiences build the foundations for strong communication, social skills, and cognitive growth.
Preschool or Kindergarten (3-5 years)
School Readiness Program
Through Project-Based Learning, children are encouraged to explore big ideas, solve problems, and collaborate with others. This hands-on, inquiry-driven approach develops critical thinking, independence, and a love of learning that lasts.
Committed to Safety & Quality
At Papilio Early Learning, we prioritise your child’s safety, wellbeing, and development every step of the way. Our centres follow robust safety protocols and are guided by the National Quality Framework, ensuring a consistently high standard of care and education in a secure, nurturing environment.
