Meet our team
Welcome to Papilio Early Learning St Kilda! It's with great pleasure that I extend a heartfelt welcome to all new families joining our vibrant community. My name is Emmely, and I bring with me five years of invaluable experience in the early childhood education sector. Commencing my journey as an Early Childhood Teacher in the 4-year-old Kinder room, I have since advanced to the role of Centre Manager. My educational background includes a Bachelor's in Management, a Graduate Diploma in Early Childhood Education, and a Certificate in Digital Marketing.
Our centre holds a special place in my heart, as I have had the privilege of witnessing the complete developmental journey of children, from their initial days in the nursery room to their triumphant graduation as part of our amazing School Readiness Program.
Our centre teaches through the Lifelong Learning Curriculum designed for children at different stages of development, from infants to preschoolers. We use fun activities and a Curriculum that helps with social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth, aiming to inspire a love for learning in every child.
Acknowledging the importance of choosing childcare services, we are here to provide consistent support at every step. We maintain transparency with an open-door policy, ensure regular communication, and encourage family involvement to build strong partnerships. Our goal is to create a collaborative and enriching environment for your child/ren.
We look forward to getting to know you and your family as we embark on this exciting journey together. If you have any questions or need assistance settling into our community, please don't hesitate to reach out.
