Learning with Dr. Lesley Jones: New Year New Rooms
This month we welcome many children and families to our Centres for the first time. We also welcome back the many thousands of children who will be transitioning into new rooms, and are part of our Affinity Education family.

Educational Programs During the Festive Season
At this time of year, many families are turning their thoughts to the festive season and family holidays. We know that December and January is a busy time of year, so we wanted to reassure you that our centres are not scaling down activities over the festive period.

The importance of using the Abecedarian approach to improve toddlers’ language skills
