Every centre operated by Affinity Education Group has access to our exclusive research-based Lifelong Learning approach.

This play-based approach captures and utilises the learning opportunities available in the first five years of a child’s life, to help them reach their full potential.

Our goal is to grow and instil a love of lifelong learning in every child.

Our 'Healthy Children' framework is used to create a holistic program of enrichment activities, incursions and events through six themes, adapted to suit children's ages:

• Healthy Minds
• Healthy Bodies
• Healthy Food
• Healthy Families
• Healthy World
• Healthy Communities

Every Lifelong Learning Centre delivers programs which meet national guidelines and approved state and national standards, including:

• The Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authority’s (ACECQA) National Quality Framework  and
• Australia’s Early Years Learning Framework, Belonging, Being and Becoming .
• Individual state requirements

Key to the Lifelong Learning approach are four intended outcomes:

• Emotional Confidence
• Social Connectivity
• Foundational Learning
• Physical Health and Wellbeing

We use talking, story-telling, singing and play to help your child learn about language. We encourage drawing and making marks, which leads to writing – whether its crayons and pencils, marks in the mud or playing with magnetic letters. We use everyday mathematical ideas, such a counting, measuring, shapes and sorting to build your child’s confidence and capability with problem solving.

Lifelong Learning starts at birth. Our Lifelong Learning programs support babies through to school-aged children and beyond.
