Genius Paddington

Welcome to Genius Paddington! We are conveniently located for families living in Paddington, Red Hill, Rosalie, Barton and Kelvin Grove. 

Genius Paddington is a homely early learning centre that offers early education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years old. We have an amazing team of passionate teachers and educators. Our team ensures every child feels safe, nurtured and inspired throughout their education journey. From planning adventure-filled experiences to building children’s self-confidence and resilience, right up until a child’s transition to ‘big school’. 

Children and teachers grow and learn together, in our resource-rich learning environments. Our centre boasts engaging outdoor spaces that provide children with plenty of space to learn and explore. These engaging outdoor environments include a fort that is designed to spark a child’s imagination and encourage play, a teepee, a running track that encourages healthy well-being, a sensory path, a sand pit and a plethora of natural materials at their disposal. 

Our indoor facilities equally boast engaging spaces with age-appropriate resources, engaging and exciting learning areas set up for the children and multicultural resources across the whole centre. 

Our team

The quality of our centre is underpinned by the quality of our people. At the heart of our centre is our highly trained and longstanding team of educators who strive to create a calm, engaging and welcoming environment that enables all children to develop and progress through their learning journey. Additionally, we have a culturally diverse team of educators who love teaching the children about their cultures through books, music, food and traditional dress. 

We know each child is an individual with unique talents and interests. Our team is passionate about their profession and truly wants your child to succeed in discovering their identity as confident, happy and resilient learners. Parents receive daily updates and photos detailing their child's learning and development from our easy-to-use Parent app. 

Partnering with families 

Relationships are key to delivering the best possible learning opportunities for your child. Our Educators and teachers develop strong bonds with the children and their families. We view a child's early education as an extension of the learning occurring at home. Therefore,  we believe a successful early learning journey needs a good partnership. We pride ourselves on working together with our families to achieve the best possible outcomes for their children. We welcome your involvement and that involvement will look different for different families.

Exploring the community

We offer a range of experiences to help children learn about their local community. We often have visits from librarians, emergency services, child safety departments and other community services to help expand the children’s learning. We also have excursions to our local park and local primary school to assist our Kindergarten children with their transition to ‘big school’.
