Our Childcare Centre in Malvern East opens at 6.30am, allowing early drop-off for families. This is a good time to check in with your child’s Educators and share anything important about your child for the day ahead or any relevant news from home.
Families can grab a coffee from our Connections Cafe and children will have breakfast prepared by our team. Fun and engaging play-based learning experiences begin, designed specifically for your child and their classmates.
Children will enjoy a delicious morning tea prepared by our Centre Chef. If your child’s routine includes regular naps they will have the opportunity to rest (rest-time is available to children throughout the day as needed).
Play-based learning experiences continue after morning tea. Activities are planned carefully by our experienced Educators to meet the interests and needs of your child and their classmates.
Lunch is an important part of the day at our Malvern East childcare Centre. In line with Paisley Park’s Food Philosophy, children share their meal together, making choices, building social connections and learning healthy eating habits while enjoying delicious chef-prepared food.
After lunch children will enjoy further learning through play experiences which may include a fun and exciting incursion or excursion. Or some favourites for our children in our Malvern East Centre include feeding the lizard, guinea pigs and chickens, collecting eggs and having fun in our all weather play areas.
For the convenience of families our Daycare Centre in Malvern East is open until 6.30pm. Children who are with us until the late afternoon / early evening will be offered a late snack.
The handover at pick-up time gives your family another opportunity to speak with your child’s Educators to ask questions or for Educators to share any important information from your child’s day. This is in addition to information shared with families during the day through our parent app.
The learning environments at our Malvern East daycare centre are thoughtfully designed to support the evolving needs of children at each developmental stage.
It’s important to note that age ranges are a guide only. Transitions from room to room are planned carefully in partnership between our Centre Director and each family. Timing of room transitions are triggered by readiness of the child and availability rather than by their age or a date on a calendar.
This nurturing space supports infants as they adapt to new environments, form new friendships and develop secure attachments. With a focus on exploration, curiosity, and sensory discovery, your child is encouraged to engage with their surroundings, build connections, and develop trust. This calm, safe environment supports emotional security, early communication, and the foundations of physical and cognitive development.
For children aged 1–2 years, this dynamic room supports emerging independence and early social interactions. At this age, toddlers are learning to express emotions, explore boundaries, and develop language. This environment full of sounds and textures, nurtures curiosity and confidence, complements their learning, and supports your child in meeting important milestones.
This transitional room supports young children as they navigate change and growing independence. Designed to foster adaptability, it offers a balance of familiar routines and new challenges. Your child builds confidence, explores identity, and strengthens social-emotional skills in a supportive environment that encourages curiosity, resilience, and the joy of discovery.
This room sparks curiosity and discovery as your child experiences ‘light bulb moments’ through exploratory play. With access to open-ended materials and engaging environments, your child tests ideas, solves problems, and expresses creativity. Imagination flourishes as your child begins to make connections, extend thinking, and build confidence in their growing abilities.
This vibrant room encourages creative expression, problem-solving, and perseverance. Your child explores a variety of materials and ideas, takes thoughtful risks, and persists through challenges. Their growing independence is supported through imaginative play and artistic exploration, nurturing cognitive development, emotional expression, and the confidence to think and create in new ways.
This stimulating room supports complex thinking, problem-solving, and independence. As cognitive skills rapidly grow, your child engages in imaginative play, tests hypotheses, and makes thoughtful decisions. Rich, challenging experiences inspire curiosity and resilience, empowering your child to explore new ideas, express themselves confidently, and prepare for the transition to school with enthusiasm.

Chef is a legend and always happy to work with the child to introduce new meals.
The facility is safe and filled with engaging activities that support learning and development.

“I am absolutely thrilled to share our experience at Paisley Park Malvern East. From the moment we stepped through the doors, we knew we had found something special. The care my daughter receives here is nothing short of amazing.
The teachers, Yu and Jackson, are truly exceptional. They go above and beyond to provide the children with a diverse and enriching learning environment. Their nurturing and kind approach not only fosters a love for learning but also creates a sense of safety and comfort for the kids.
A special shout-out to Chef Stephen, whose culinary talents are truly remarkable! The food he prepares is always incredible, and I must admit, I can never replicate it at home. Every morning, he greets us with a smile and shares his delicious creations, which makes our mornings that much brighter—especially paired with my coffee!
Chandi, the centre manager, is simply the best! Her kindness and accommodating nature make every interaction a pleasant one. She genuinely cares for all the children and families, ensuring that nothing is too hard to address.
I feel so blessed that my daughter and I have found Paisley Park. It’s not just a kinder; it has become a true community for us, a second home where we both feel welcomed and loved. Thank you, Paisley Park, for everything you do!”

Yes, we provide breakfast, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea for all children at our Malvern childcare centre. Menus change seasonally in line with our food philosophy. We are passionate about providing an enticing food experience for children. Meals are prepared on-site, nutritionally balanced, flavoursome and rich in textures. We believe in the importance of the social aspect of eating experiences and incorporate that into our daily routines. We can support allergies, intolerances and most cultural preferences. Our Centre Chef plays a part in the educational programs through food experiences. Children are involved in growing food and understanding where food comes from and the core principles of healthy eating.
Some children settle quickly, while others need additional support. On average, it takes between 6 to 12 weeks for a child to develop deeper familiarity with their new environment. We recommend that families discuss their child’s needs during the enrolment process, as additional orientation visits may be required to support the child’s smooth transition into our Malvern daycare centre.
Yes. Kinder Funding is provided by the Victorian Government to reduce the cost of attending Three- and Four-Year-Old Kindergarten programs. It applies to a maximum of 15 hours per week of kindergarten and can only be claimed with one Long Daycare or Kindergarten provider. The funding is paid directly to participating long day care centres offering government-funded kindergarten programs. The Kinder Funding subsidy is then automatically applied to the kindergarten portion of your fees, reducing the overall cost for your family.
