Paisley Park is a lovely centre and we’re really happy to have our little one here.<br>Classes are smaller than other centres, so the educators can give each child the attention they need, everyone’s focussed on the children as their first priority in each aspect (education, health, emotional development, self actualisation and awareness, community and environment, etc), chef Steven makes wonderful meals and the cafe makes a great spot to do a gentle drop off approach over a gingerbread cookie, and the animals there are lovely for the children to interact with. We’re really happy with Paisley Park and would recommend them to everyone

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

There are five rooms at Paisley Park Malvern East. Each child at Paisley Park receives tailored programs and experiences to meet their individual learning and development needs.

Darwin Room:        6 weeks – 12 months

Named after acclaimed natural scientist Charles Darwin, who spent most of his life exploring the diversity of living things with particular interest in adaptation. Similarly, children of this age are curious and readily adjust as they transition to a new environment. Parents can feel confident knowing that their Educators are there to guide them as they become increasingly curious about their world, introducing experiences and supporting them to explore new surroundings and establish new relationships with carers and friends.

Mozart Room:        1 year – 2 years

Famous for creating piano concertos and symphonies, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart spent most of his life mastering music that depicted charm and expressed humour, joy and sorrow. The exploration of such emotions is commonplace for children at this age as they begin to exercise their independence and socialise with like-minded friends.  This environment is full of sounds and textures, designed to complement children’s learning.  Age-appropriate experiences and resources are provided to support children as they explore and meet developmental milestones.

Edison Room:          2 years - 3 years

Thomas Edison rose from humble beginnings to develop technology and make his inventions widely available and useful.  Invention is commonplace for children of this age as they become inquisitive and exploratory in their place.  Providing an abundant selection of resources within varied environments allows the imaginative creators to push boundaries and showcase their learning every minute of the day.  Interacting with their peers teaches them social skills such as turn taking and making a friend.

Picasso Room:        3 years – 4 years

Remembered for his contributions to the art world, Pablo Picasso was a dynamic painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist who experimented with many art styles and themes in his long-lasting career.  Children in this room are encouraged to experience and push boundaries, using their intelligence and creativity. They are supported by their Educators to discover their incredible capacity to persist when challenged.

Einstein Room:       4 years – 5 years

Famous for his theory of relativity, Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist whose intellectual achievements crowned him as the greatest genius who ever lived.  Children of this age have rapid cognitive development and play becomes more complex. The children in this room want to try new experiences, seek to become self-reliant and want to become independent decision makers.  Educators support this energy and independence by providing experiences to challenge thinking and this includes participation within the School Preparation Program.

Health & nutrition

Health & nutrition

The nutritional philosophy of Paisley Park Malvern East is as follows: 

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.

Having recently moved to Melbourne, finding the right daycare for our daughter was my top priority however I can honestly say I have been super happy with my experience with Paisley Park Malvern so far…<br><br>The educators and management have been incredibly warm, welcoming and caring, and really helped make the transition to a new centre much easier for her. She’s been happy to go each day which is obviously my main concern given my partner and I both work full time so it’s been great to know she is comfortable and well looked after.<br><br>Communication has been great, Georgia has been really open and supportive in her transition so very grateful to have found this centre after our move!

My little girl has been going here since she was 11 months old. It was a very big transition for both myself and my daughter but the team at Paisley Park Malvern East made it as easy as possible. The staff are so enduring, caring and professional. Special shoutout to Mehak, Suhani and director Chandi who have been so wonderful to my daughter. Day after day, they show a beautiful caring nature for my daughter and are there for her in the best possible way. The daily activities are so fun and the the daily updates are so great. I can't thank the team enough for making our first daycare journey the best it could possibly be. Paisley Park offers a warm, family environment and it's been amazing!
