After sending our child to Papilio in March this year, we have seen significant growth in our child almost every month. He has learned how to communicate with children of his age at the childcare, and his language skills have progressed rapidly. Every time we pick him up, he says how much fun childcare is. Initially, we were very worried about whether he would adapt to the new life quickly, but it turns out we worried too much. He is now very adapted to childcare life and enjoys interacting with teachers and classmates. Every teacher and staff member at Papilio has shown their passion for the early childhood education industry. We would 200% recommend Popilio to parents who are seeking childcare for their child! Tips: Waiting list might be long, so please plan ahead.
updated in Jan 2026: Our son Aiden graduated from Papilio last week after three fantastic years. We cannot thank the amazing educators and staff enough for their care. From day one, Aiden has absolutely loved coming here.
It has been a privilege to witness his growth—from the tears at the very first drop-off and the nerves over our first "incident report," to seeing him blossom socially and academically. We loved hearing stories about his new friendships and the new skills he mastered every week.
We really appreciated the daily updates and photos that kept us connected to his day. We apologize that work prevented us from saying a final goodbye in person on his last day, but we want to express our sincere gratitude for the team's unwavering professionalism and genuine love for the kids. If you are a new parent looking for childcare, I strongly recommend Papilio; it was the perfect choice for us.

We still remember those early days when your little one first joined us, Marc, and watching him grow from from day one and finding his feet to a confident, social, curious preschool graduate has been one of the great joys of our centre. Hearing how much he loved his days here, the friendships he formed, and the progress he made month after month is incredibly special to us. Your kind words about the educators’ passion and care touched everyone who has been part of his three‑year story with us. Even though we missed saying goodbye in person, please know your family holds a very warm place in our hearts, and we are so grateful you trusted us with Aiden’s early years.
