Papilio Early Learning Essendon

Unfortunately my experience has been unpleasant with this childcare. I had started my son and almost everyday I would receive a call from the daycare asking to pick him up, almost like they just don’t want to deal with him if hes crying or even try to settle him. He comes back home hungry and thirsty. I witnessed an educator accidentally bumping his head on the wall while walking with him, I understand accidents happen but they just lack the care/concentration that they should be giving these kids. When I call to ask about him, every educator says a different response. Overall; I do NOT recommend this daycare for your kids, please don’t waste your time or your kids time as there are better ones around the area.

The educators and management are truly outstanding. Their dedication and passion for teaching is evident in every interaction. Their communication with parents is excellent, ensuring we're always in the loop about our child's progress and activities. Couldn’t recommend Papilio enough.

Good place for work, staff is cooperative and director was soo kind with us. Highly recommended this childcare center

Im having a very great experience with my two kids here I can easy see enjoy their time and make friendship.
The teachers are great and management is caring
thank you

The staff at Papilio were lovely - we recently had a stay and play / tour with my son. I was so impressed with how attentive the educators / centre manager were with all the babies and toddlers. It was clear that all the children were very connected to the staff and the centre itself was very clean and well kept.

My niece goes to this centre. The centre is well maintained, fresh, bright and well resourced, the staff are very professional, compassionate and generous with all aspects of care for my child.

Highly recommend! The educators are caring and attentive and make for a really beautiful environment for our kids. Our daughter thrives here and can't wait to go each time. The programs are fun, educational and inclusive.

We started sending our 1 year old daughter to this centre in January and we have been so impressed. Our daughter settled in really quickly and it was no doubt because of the amazing team of educators that work there.

Each afternoon upon collection one of the friendly team members provides a detailed update on the day and during the transition into the centre we received calls and updates during the day to know everything was ok abs our daughter was happy.

No doubt the educators have days that are full of challenges and competing priorities but they never seem to miss a beat and do it all with a smile.

I’m so pleased we secured a spot at this centre and would have no reservations to recommend it to others.

Keep up the amazing work!

Very happy with all the staff at Papilio. We are so glad we chose this centre as We are new to all of this. My granddaughter has been at Papilio for 2 years. It’s going to be a sad day when she leaves to go if in school in 2022. I’m going to miss my morning chats with the staff Julie Mitcham.

Excellent management.loveable and kind educators. All of the staff is very pleasant and helpful. Really appreciate that place.
My daughter is loving that place and never thought she would settle down soo quickly.
I would highly recommend to any one to put their kids in Papilio Early Learning Essendon.

Staff are always so friendly and accommodating. The centre is clean and has great resources. My son is happy and shares his learning at home. You can tell he is learning a lot. He especially loves the extra activities that are provided in music and sports. Highly recommended.

We feel very fortunate that our daughter attends Papilio early learning. The carers, educators and management have been so genuine and attentive since day one.
The centre is clean, spacious and secure.
We especially love how we can track our daughters day on the Storypark app.
Well done to all the staff for making child care so fun and interactive.
