Affinity Education Group

Welcome to Affinity Education Group! We're a values-led provider of early education, childcare, Kindergarten and Preschool, operating in more than 200 locations around Australia. (And we're growing about as fast as the little people in our care.) At Affinity - we realise potential in everyone. Our values include Living the Team Spirit, Going Above and Beyond, Creating Shining Stars, Delivering Outstanding Professionalism, Being Completely Connected, and (usually a favourite) Having Serious Fun. Together as a community of more than 4000 Centre Managers, Early Childhood Teachers and Educators we make a difference in the lives of more than 20,000 children and 8,000 families around Australia. Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum has emerged since 2015 as Australia's most progressive approach to early education and care - and our teachers and educators are supported by a dynamic and passionate Education team offering continual professional development and best practice strategies for early education. The award-winning Affinity Learning Academy, established in 2017, delivers fully paid on the job training and qualifications in early education and care or Business studies to more than 500 of our employees every year, and our Bachelor Scholarship Pathway is supporting future early childhood teachers to achieve their dreams. Affinity's culture is described by our people as supportive and values-driven. Our Centre Support Office in Brisbane fulfills our value of being Completely Connected daily with our Milestones Early Learning, Kids Academy, Papilio Early Learning and Aussie Kindies centres around Australia. At Affinity, our Safety Commitment is key to our daily operations, and we go above and beyond in this area for our people and for our children. Our dedicated Quality, Education, People & Culture, Family Enrolments, Compliance, Marketing and Facilities teams work together to ensure the 'Affinity Way'.
