Papilio Early Learning Coombabah Reviews

My son has been at Papilio for almost a year now, and we truly couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible team here. From the calmest, most beautiful babies room that we never wanted to leave, he now spends his days in the bustling Toddler One room. The management team are so organised, attentive and helpful, and the teachers put so much love, care, education and play into the children’s days. I’m watching my son become more confident week by week, so excited to show me everything he has learnt. Thank you, Papilio, for helping us feel confident and reassured that our boy is in such safe and nurturing hands. We are so incredibly grateful for everything you do

From the moment we enrolled Sophie at Papilio Coombabah it has felt like a second home for her. The educators are always warm, attentive, and committed to providing the highest standard of care. They create environments where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to thrive. This has been evident over the past 4 years Sophie has been in attendance. What sets this centre apart is its dedication to best practice. From educational programming to emotional support, every aspect of care is thoughtfully designed to foster growth and development. Any concerns or questions lve had have always addressed promptly and professionally and l have felt heard and supported at all times. The team consistently go above and beyond and it’s evident in Sophie’s happiness and confidence each day when she comes home! We are beyond grateful for the positive impact this service has had on our family and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking QUALITY care in early Childhood. A massive Thank you to you, Theresa and the team, for being such an incredible part of our lives thus far!!! 😊

I recently enrolled my son at Papilio Kindy, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. After many changes and searching, I finally found a spot at a kindy where my son feels completely at home. He eagerly attends each day, and it's heartwarming to see him thrive independently. The teachers here are exceptional—caring, dedicated, and truly passionate about their work. They create a nurturing environment where every child feels valued and encouraged to explore, learn, and grow. I appreciate the strong emphasis on both academic and social development, which gives me confidence that my son is in the best hands. Overall, this kindy has exceeded all of my expectations, and I highly recommend this kindy to any parent looking for a warm, supportive, and high-quality early childhood education experience.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the entire kindergarten staff for their care, professionalism and love for children! Our son attends this institution, and we are very satisfied. The child runs to the kindergarten with pleasure every morning, and for us this is the best indicator. It is very nice that everything in the kindergarten is at the highest level. Thank you for your work, patience and warmth that you give to children! We are glad that we chose your kindergarten!

Cannot fault this centre one bit - the team are absolutely incredible, and their level of care and passion for the wellbeing of the kids is exceptional. They do so many different activities suited to their age and development, and are always so welcoming and friendly. My baby boy is in the nursery, and he can’t wipe the smile off his face when he sees his teachers in the morning when I drop him off, he loves it there! Daily photo updates on the app are great as I can see what fun and learning he has gotten up to that day. I feel our son has had the best experience here and really is thriving in the environment, cannot recommend enough!

Papilio Coombabah is incredibly inviting especially for a nervous parent with a kid starting at a new Kindy. The little ones love the space and all the staff are kind and caring. We noticed massive progress in our daughters self-confidence, knowledge and understanding of letters, number and words after a few weeks here.. but her happiness at Papilio is the best part.

Papilio's made the transition into daycare, much easier on us as a family. The staff are caring, compassionate, go above and beyond to ensure our little one has not only an enjoyable time but is educated along the way. The time and effort put into activites is well thought out. The staff are like family to us and we know they are taking great care of the children. The centre has great communication with us as parents via a portal and email. Highly recommend this centre.
