Papilio Early Learning Lutwyche

Papilio Lutwyche has been an amazing child care centre for my child. She has come forth leaps and bounds in her development and they look after her so incredibly well. The staff adore her and they are all so caring, friendly and knowledgeable. Most days it’s hard to get her to leave she enjoys herself that much. Her language and development is at an extremely high level for her age and I highly recommend Papilio Lutwyche to any parent with young children. It’s certainly the best child care centre I have experienced.

Papilio Lutwyche is a beautiful centre that provides such warm and engaging environments! All of the staff are attentive and caring throughout all interactions I’ve witnessed and take such pride in welcoming and supporting my child each and every day. It is so wonderful that my daughter feels so loved and safe each day she attends and always has such fun! The management team are nothing but helpful and are always warm and welcoming upon entering the centre each day. ❤️

Lovely educators here. The food provided by the chef is excellent most days. But for $170 a day, you’d hope your child wouldn’t just be plonked in front of a giant screen all day, especially when you’re trying to limit screen time at home. My kid has been watching TV every single afternoon I pick them up. The screen is huge and the kids sit directly in front of it for what seems like a few hours every day. The first year here we had an excellent educator who exposed the kids to letters, numbers and reading from toddler age and my kid learned so much. The last two years, nothing much and my kid has dropped back heaps. Will look for different options before we go to prep.

Our daughter has attended this centre since she was 9 months old, and has absolutely thrived. The environment is warm, welcoming and supportive with friendly and attentive staff. We’ve been thoroughly impressed with the facilities - the outdoor play area is great, there is a wonderful variety of fresh meals daily, each classroom is well-equipped and clean and the extra curricular activities like sport and cultural celebrations have provided an enriching environment for our daughter over the years. Our daughter has started the kindergarten program this year and we could not be happier with her two teachers. Mr Man and Miss Meghan are both excellent educators and really have the children’s best interests and education at heart. Every activity and initiative is informative and helping to prepare the children for school and life beyond kindy, while helping regulate their emotions and relationships inside the classroom. We’ve been blown away with the progress our daughter has shown both emotionally and educationally since starting this program and we are excited to see more of this throughout the year. Excellent team, excellent centre, highly recommend!

I would highly recommend Papilio Lutwyche, it is a beautiful Centre with the most friendly, caring staff that go above and beyond for the children every day. The cook is wonderful and provides the most amazing morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea for the children daily!

Our child has just started with Papilio and we love the care and attention that the centre has provided. Centre Manager Lani is absolutely amazing and thoughtful, solving all sorts of problems and helping make sure things work well for us. The educators are great and take great care of our daughter. The centre is very calm and peaceful, providing a wonderful environment for the kids. Our experience with our older child at a different centre was very unpleasant so it's lovely to receive such great service at Papilio.

We recently moved our son to Papillio from another childcare centre, and we are beyond thrilled with our decision! The team there is simply amazing, especially Mr. Man & Ms. Megan in the kindy room. They are professional and passionate about their work, and they always make sure that our little one feels safe and secure. In fact, our son even managed to take a nap on his very first day, which is something that never happened in his previous centre. Thanks to them, our morning drop-offs are now a breeze! The communication is top-notch, and the fun activities they have planned keep our son curious and creative. We are so impressed with the level of care they show, and it's clear that they truly love what they do. We couldn't be happier with our experience at Papillio!

The School Readiness professionals! My son has attended Affinity education services since he was 6 months old and the last 3 years at Papilio Lutwyche. He has now started in prep and I can see and feel how supported and encouraged he was at Papilio. They helped him build his social skills and emotional wellbeing, confidence to ask questions, whilst providing him a nurturing environment to grow! I can’t thank the team and his educators enough for helping me raise such a confident Eager to learn 5 year old , we will miss being apart of this community, that has been so special to us as parents.

We moved our 2 children here just over a year ago from another centre. The room’s & outdoor play space are great, stocked with heaps of equipment & resources with extra experiences like yoga & soccer on offer. The meals offered are nutritious & per my kids “yummy” with nappies & bedding supplied unlike some centres my friend’s kids attend. Being based at Lutwyche Shopping Centre has the added convenience of underground parking with allocated parks for daycare families, popping to the supermarket before pick up has been a game changer after working all day. But the very best thing about the centre is the incredible staff, it’s a large centre but Elle the manager along with Sia & all the amazing educators have cultivated a real community/family feel. My kids love their daycare days & it is truly a relief knowing they’re in safe caring hands. The centre has all the bells & whistles but ultimately the incredible, trustworthy staff are the heroes.
