“As an Early Childhood professional, I believe the goal is to support children in activating their own natural desire to learn, to help them climb their own mountains and expand their horizons through play and learning opportunities.”
“I believe this is a critical time to lay down foundations for future wellbeing and learning, to build a strong sense of belonging to a wider community in which children can find themselves and grow together.”
“I am focused on building strong and supportive communities for our Educators and families, where they can keep learning, engage and foster their knowledge and understanding of the Early Years.”

Our Childcare Centre in Newtown 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 Newtown 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 Newtown Centre include feeding the chickens and collecting eggs to give to our Centre Chef.
For the convenience of families our Daycare Centre in Newtown 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 Newtown 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.

“Our family has had an excellent experience with Paisley Park over the last 2.5 years.
We have consistently been impressed with the level of energy and care all the educators have provided to our two daughters (with Tameeka and Joel getting regular shout outs in the car ride home).
Adriana has also been very helpful with timely responses to broader questions we’ve had throughout the journey.”
“Our son has been at Paisley Park Newtown for nearly 2 years, since he was 9 months old. He has loved attending care here and we have been very happy with the centre, educators and management.
Some of the things we love are feeling part of the PP community, kindness and engagement of all staff, quality and variety of food, big outdoor area, feedback about his day, free information sessions and community events, the list goes on….
Thank you all for the care, support and development you provide to our son and us as parents!”
“We can’t speak highly enough of Paisley Park Newtown. Our 11 month old is well taken care of, regular updates and the educators are amazing with him!
All the staff we come into contact with make us feel very welcome and we feel we are apart of the family at the Newtown centre!
Nothing is ever an issue for the team or educators in his room, they do everything they can to make him feel comfortable and have an enjoyable day whilst at daycare!”
Unfortunately, we can’t. It’s not possible to accurately predict availability next year or even in three months’ time. Availability at our Newtown childcare centre depends on the movements of children between rooms and going to school. Those movements happen throughout the year, but we cannot guarantee the availability of a place even if your child has been on the waiting list.
To enrol your child at our Newtown childcare centre, provide us with the details of your enrolment request and we’ll check availability. If a place is available for your child, we’ll send you an Offer of Place which will include a link to the Enrolment Form
We are a Long Day Care provider, not an Occasional Care provider so we cannot provide occasional care or swap days of care on an ‘ad-hoc’ basis. Casual bookings are available to enrolled families at our Newtown childcare as additional days (where availability permits) but can’t be swapped for regular enrolled days.
Building community is an important part of how we operate. To help enrolled families connect with each other and our team, we hold regular events, in-house and beyond, as part of our Newtown childcare centre’s Community Engagement Program.
