About Paisley Park Early Learning Centre Ashburton

Welcome to Paisley Park Early Learning Centre Ashburton. Under Paisley Park ownership from July 2025. We'll be renovating, resourcing and and re-invigorating our environments, along with implementing our Paisley Park culture and approach to learning. We provide quality Early Learning for children from 6 weeks. Come and see the difference!

Like you, we care about raising happy, confident children. Our core concepts of Live, Love, Learn are at the centre of everything we do. Our Educators and purposefully designed environments help each child reach their potential, at their own pace. At Paisley Park we foster a culture of creativity and belonging. We value genuine relationships, and respect and engage with our community.

Why families choose Paisley Park

  • Qualified, nurturing team of Educators with a passion for early learning and a caring approach

  • Learning tools to support your child’s growing inquisitiveness and thirst for knowledge, including a School Preparation Program that dovetails to the National Primary School Syllabus

Get To Know Us

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

The nutritional philosophy of Paisley Park includes:

Best quality produce: the centre believes that healthy eating means using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients which keep children nourished and energised. The seasonal menus are designed in conjunction with well-known chef, Miguel Maestre.

Whole foods cooked from scratch: all meals are prepared completely from scratch by the onsite chef – everything from bread to jam and tomato sauce is made in-house.

Active participants: children enjoy a wide range of healthy and delicious food. They eat in a designated space for meals, and engage with everything from preparation of the meals, serving themselves, socialising with peers, and cleaning up. Children use real crockery to enhance their dining experience, teaching them to respect and look after cutlery.

Cooking experiences: children are regularly exposed to opportunities to get creative in the kitchen with the onsite chef. The kitchen plays an important role in the centre with children enjoying their regular cooking experiences.

Sustainability: children learn where their food comes from through hands-on activities such as collecting eggs, picking herbs and vegetables from the vegetable garden, worm farming, composting and water conservation.

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Successful school preparation supports the effective transition to school, and as importantly, will develop a lifetime love for learning and success. Our unique program has been developed by Dr Kat Wieczorek-Ghisso (PhD Education and over 30 years practical experience), with input from School Principals. It covers the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and uniquely, also dovetails with the National School Curriculum, and includes additional focus on building confidence, social awareness, autonomy and resilience.

Program Highlights

  • Using a play based approach, your child will become familiar with elements of the National School Curriculum, building connections to the areas of Mathematics, English, Science, Technology, the Arts, Health and Physical Education.
  • School teachers identify ‘ready children’ as those with confidence, independence, resilience and social competence. Our daily programs prioritise the development of these skills.
  • Educators have significant influence on children‘s learning. We are intentional in choosing qualified Educators with that special blend of experience, care and passion for educating young children.
  • Your child will be appreciated as an individual, with their unique interests and talents weaved into their daily activities.
  • To support your child’s transition, our curriculum incorporates school-like experiences and expectations.
  • Partnerships with local schools also ensure children experience ‘Big School’ long before they officially transition.
  • When a child transitions to school, so does their family. Our genuine partnerships with families ensure that the experience is positive for everyone.

We had a horrible experience with their current center manager, sadly most of their educators are great, but with this kind of management we can’t trust them at all. I will never recommend this center to any of my friends. Ok, since I can’t reply you. According to your website the center manager is the same and she’s the reason why we withdraw and not recommending to others.

Response from the owner 01 Jul 2025

We're sorry to hear you had a negative experience with Papilio Early Learning. The Centre is under new management and we look forward to connecting with the Ashburton community and welcoming families at this centre into the Paisley Park Early Learning Centres family.

We have been very happy with the care provided to our child for the past approx 1.5 years at this centre. The educators take great care with the children and get to know the children individually. The food provided to the children is well balanced and healthy. A wide variety of activities are prepared for the children and the centre has a large beautiful outdoor area. The daily updates are fantastic and appreciated. We would definitely recommend this centre to other parents.
