Australian Breastfeeding Association

In 2022 Affinity Education Group became the first national early education and child care employer and provider to achieve accreditation with The Australian Breastfeeding Association. The commitment influences our employee policies, established breastfeeding friendly zones in our staff rooms and Centre Support Office, and a dedicated parenting support team for breastfeeding mothers returning to work while breastfeeding. 

Wandana Aboriginal Education

Wandana Aboriginal Education

Affinity Education is proud to partner with Wandana Aboriginal Education to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of Australia’s rich Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander culture. Through this collaboration, we incorporate meaningful Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander perspectives into our Lifelong Learning Curriculum, ensuring that children in our care grow up with a strong sense of connection to the land and its First Nations peoples. Our commitment to respectful Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander education helps build cultural awareness, inclusivity, and respect among children, families, and educators across our centres. Together, we are nurturing a generation that values diversity and embraces reconciliation.

University Of Wollongong

Affinity Education has partnered with the University of Wollongong to integrate The Early Years Toolbox into our Lifelong Learning Curriculum. This evidence-based assessment supports our educators in tracking and enhancing the cognitive and developmental progress of children in 5 key foundational learning areas. By using the Early Years Toolbox, we ensure that every child receives tailored, high-quality learning experiences that foster essential skills like attention, memory, and self-regulation, setting a strong foundation for lifelong success.

Southern Cross University

Affinity Education has partnered with Southern Cross University to bring the Big Thinkers STEM program into our Lifelong Learning Curriculum. This exciting program, co-written by Dr. Tess Boyle, encourages young learners to explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through hands-on activities and real-world problem-solving. By fostering curiosity and critical thinking, the Big Thinkers STEM program helps children develop a strong foundation in these essential areas, preparing them for future academic success and inspiring a lifelong love of learning.
