Policies & Procedures
At Affinity Education Group, every centre operates under policies and procedures designed to keep children safe, supported and thriving. These are developed in line with our obligations under the Education and Care Services National Regulations, and are structured around the seven Quality Areas of the National Quality Standard (NQS), the national benchmark for early childhood education and care in Australia.
Our policies guide the everyday practice of our educators and teams across Milestones, Papilio, Kids Academy and Aussie Kindies, and are reviewed regularly to reflect current regulations and best practice. Families and educators can find an overview of our key policies below, organised by Quality Area.
