It is a very difficult decision for a parent to send their child to a responsible and caring childcare centre. I can say it with confidence that Paisley Park Chadstone has proved to be the best decision when it comes to my child's development and safety.

About the curriculum
About the curriculum
6 weeks - 1 year
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 will 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.
1 - 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.
2 - 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 our imaginative creators to push boundaries and showcase their learning every minute of the day. Interacting with peers teaches them social skills such as turn taking and making a friend.
3 - 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.
4 - 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
Best quality produce: the centre believes that healthy eating means using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients to help children stay nourished and energised. The seasonal menus are designed in conjunction with experienced chefs.
Whole foods cooked from scratch: all meals are prepared completely from scratch – children even enjoy jam and tomato sauce made fresh by their chef.
Active participants: the 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. The children use real crockery to enhance their dining experience, and to teach them to use and respect cutlery.
Cooking experiences: the children are regularly exposed to opportunities to get creative in the kitchen with their onsite chef. The open plan kitchen is the heart of the centre, making the chef approachable and interactive.
Dietary requirements: all meals and snacks are adapted to cater for individual dietary requirements including known allergens.
