It isn't just about what we do for children, it's about what we do for our team, too. Affinity allows our people to shine – so we can deliver the best in early education

Our educators and teachers are trained and accredited in the Lifelong Learning Curriculum which is Australia's most advanced approach to early education for children from birth to age five. It is based on the belief that learning and development occurs most successfully when supported by nurturing and engaged educators, in partnership with families and communities. This curriculum draws on the best models of early education, contemporary research and evidence informed practices such as Circle of Security, Abecedarian, and Project Based learning.

At Affinity, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace where every individual is treated with respect and dignity. We are committed to upholding the safety, rights and wellbeing of all children and promote a culture of child safety with a zero-tolerance approach to child abuse and harm. Our Safety Commitment also prioritises the safety, rights, and wellbeing of our employees and their families.
