The Affinity Way
At Affinity Education, our values aren’t just words - they’re the way we show up every day for the children in our care, for the families we support, and for each other.
We call this The Affinity Way. It’s how we lead with purpose, grow together as professionals, and create centres where children thrive, families feel confident, and educators feel proud of the work they do.
As one of Australia’s leading providers of early childhood education and care, The Affinity Way defines who we are - and where we’re going.
Our Shared Goal
To instill a love of lifelong learning in every child, while building the capability and confidence of our national community of educators, teachers, leaders and support teams.
Our Values
These six values shape everything we do - from the way we support each child’s learning journey to the way we collaborate, communicate and celebrate success.
Being Completely Connected
We bring out the best in each other - and in the families we serve - through open communication, collaboration, and a shared commitment to putting people first.
Having Serious Fun
We believe learning (and work!) should be filled with laughter, celebration and joy. We create positive, playful environments where everyone feels energised, included and supported.
Living the Team Spirit
We work together with purpose and positivity, creating a culture of trust, belonging and shared success across every role, every centre, every day.
Going Above and Beyond
We lead with pride, energy and a genuine desire to make a difference - going the extra mile for children, families, and each other.
Creating Shining Stars
We empower every team member to learn, grow and shine - offering support, autonomy and opportunities to reach their full potential.
Delivering Outstanding Professionalism
We’re committed to safe, respectful and high-quality care. We value every individual’s skills, experience and unique contribution, and hold ourselves to the highest professional standards.
