The Lifelong Learning Curriculum
All our Aussie Kindies Early Learning centres educational programs align with the Lifelong Learning Approach which our Educators use to support our little learners to reach their full potential. Working with our talented and passionate educators, we have expanded our educational focus to include contemporary, evidence informed practices and programs, designed to provide your child with the best environment in which to start their Lifelong Love of Learning. Our Lifelong Learning Approach aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework, and offers a rich combination of play-based and intentional teaching.
About our Curriculum
The Lifelong Learning Curriculum is Affinity Education’s research-based curriculum for early childhood education, based on the belief that learning and development occurs most successfully when supported by nurturing and engaged educators, in partnership with families and communities. It draws on the best teaching and learning strategies from Montessori and Reggio Emilia combined with modern, evidence-based approaches including Abecedarian and Circle of Security.
The Lifelong Learning Curriculum is play-based and specifically designed to cater for all ages from birth to school age.
Educational programs, inspired by four key intentions, thoughtfully and individually facilitate each child’s learning.

Our Educational Programs
Baby Nursery
Your child's lifelong learning journey starts here! Our nursery provides a warm, safe environment for your baby to learn and grow. Caring and gentle educators will develop nurturing relationships with your baby, so your child will develop trust and a sense of belonging.
Toddler Childcare
Our centre provides a stimulating and fun environment to enhance your child’s learning in their early years. Learning starts long before school, with the first five years of a child’s life being crucial to laying the foundations for their ability to learn throughout their later years.
Preschool
Preparing for primary school is one of the most important times in a child’s life. Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum School Readiness program stimulates young minds, builds confidence, resilience and positive self-image, and supports children’s transition to school.
