Meet Our Bowen Hills Early Learning Team

Hello, my name is Lulu Song, and I am proud to be the Centre Manager at Papilio Early Learning Bowen Hills.

With over a decade of experience across both middle school and early childhood education, I bring a broad perspective and deep understanding of how children learn and grow across different stages of development.

I’m passionate about creating an environment where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn each day. Building strong, trusting relationships with families is at the heart of what I do, ensuring every child feels known, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

At Papilio Bowen Hills, I work closely with our dedicated team to deliver engaging, age-appropriate learning experiences that nurture both educational and emotional development. Together, we create a space where curiosity is encouraged, confidence is built, and learning feels like a joyful adventure.

I look forward to welcoming your family into our centre.
