Why Choose an Affinity Early Learning Centre?

All NT centres follow the Lifelong Learning Curriculum – a nationally recognised, evidence-informed curriculum developed by Affinity Education and aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). This approach empowers children to develop curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.

At our NT centres, you’ll find:

  • Purpose-built indoor and outdoor learning environments

  • Play-based programs tailored to each developmental stage

  • Fresh, healthy meals prepared onsite (at most centres)

  • Caring, qualified educators committed to safety, wellbeing, and inclusion

  • A strong emphasis on cultural responsiveness, school readiness, and community engagement
