Lifelong Learning Curriculum
Milestones Educators and Early Learning Teachers realise potential through the Lifelong Learning Curriculum, created and trained by the sector-leading employer, Affinity Education.
The Lifelong Learning Curriculum is Affinity Education’s research-based curriculum for early childhood education, based on the belief that learning and development occur most successfully when supported by nurturing and engaged educators in partnership with families and communities. It draws on the best teaching and learning strategies from Montessori and Reggio Emilia combined with modern, evidence-based approaches, including Abecedarian and Circle of Security.
The Lifelong Learning Curriculum is play-based and specifically designed to cater to all ages, from birth to school.
Inspired by four key intentions, educational programs thoughtfully and individually facilitate each child’s learning.
Only at centres owned and operated by Affinity Education will your child receive early learning and care using the Lifelong Learning Curriculum, taking them on a journey to realise their full potential.
