Meet Our Team
Hi, my name is Hollie Kippen and I am the Centre Manager here at Milestones Augustine Heights.
I have been working with Affinity Education Group for 14 years, and I have loved every moment of it.
I began my journey as a trainee and then worked my way up into a room leader, at one of our other Milestones centres, before transferring to the beautiful Milestones Augustine Heights to become the room leader for our 2-3 year room! I was honoured to receive the opportunity to step up into management to become the Centre Manager here.
I am highly passionate and dedicated to Early Childhood Education as I believe encouraging children to explore their natural curiosity can set them up to become lifelong learners. It brings me so much joy to see their smiles every day.
We would love to meet all new families! Give us a call today to book a tour.

Quality Child Care & Early Education
Our centre practices, policies and procedures align with legislative requirements as outlined in the National Quality Framework. This means that every effort is made to comply with the Education and Care Services National Law and the Education and Care Services National Regulation, the approved learning frameworks and the National Quality Standards.
Lifelong Learning Starts Here!
At Milestones Early Learning, we’re proud to deliver Affinity Education’s exclusive Lifelong Learning Curriculum - Australia’s most advanced approach to early childhood education, thoughtfully designed to nurture each child’s unique potential. Inspired by the best practices of Montessori and Reggio Emilia, our curriculum is enriched with contemporary research, including attachment theory, the Circle of Security, language development from the Abecedarian approach, and Project-Based Learning. The result is a balanced, holistic learning experience tailored to support every child’s growth.
Aligned with Australia's Early Years Learning Framework, the Lifelong Learning Curriculum is carefully structured for three age groups: babies, toddlers, and 3-5 year olds. Each stage builds seamlessly on the last, culminating in a school readiness program that instils confidence, curiosity, and essential skills for success in primary school and beyond.
At Aussie Kindies, we are dedicated to creating a warm, nurturing environment where your child can flourish. Discover how we combine quality early education with genuine care to help your little one thrive every day.
Healthy Beginnings
Babies aged 0-1 years
Your baby will start their lifelong learning journey with us in a safe, nurturing environment. Educators will:
- Develop strong, positive bonds;
- Encourage confidence to explore new surroundings;
- Spark curiosity through sensory experiences; and
- Establish helpful routines that support health and wellbeing.
Early Experiences
Toddlers aged 1-3 years
Your toddler will enjoy an exciting environment in which to explore and experiment as their confidence and social skills emerge. Educators will:
- Introduce literacy and numeracy through learning games;
- Support self expression through language skills; and
- Develop social and friendship skills in group settings.
School Readiness
Children aged 3-5 years
Your child will be given the very best start before they begin primary school! Educators will:
- Guide self-awareness, self-help skills and socialisation;
- Investigate literacy, mathematics, science, technology and the arts;
- Stimulate creativity, deeper thinking and problem solving; and
- Prepare children for classroom environments through play-based preschool and kindergarten programs.
At our childcare centre, we offer a government-approved kindergarten program (also known as preschool in some states) combined with long day care, blending early education and childcare under one roof.
Taught by a bachelor-qualified teacher, our school readiness program helps children build the essential skills for a smooth transition to primary school. Through play-based learning and meaningful interactions, children develop confidence, social skills, and a love of learning.
With extended care hours and a nurturing environment, our kindergarten/preschool program supports your child’s academic and emotional growth while preparing them for ‘big school’ and lifelong success.
Exclusive Programs to Inspire and Prepare Your Child
At Milestones, we’re proud to provide a range of exclusive programs that make early education both exciting and meaningful. From Positive Living Skills and Big Thinkers STEM to Aussie Wildlife Champions and First Nations education, these enriching experiences spark curiosity and build confidence in every child.
With access to Reading Eggs and MathSeeds, your child will develop a love of reading and numeracy, while the Early Years Toolbox helps us personalise their learning journey to meet their unique needs.
These programs are designed to help your child thrive, preparing them for school and beyond in a caring and supportive childcare environment where they can grow, explore, and succeed.
Positive Living Skills
This program is designed to equip children with essential skills for mental and emotional wellbeing. It helps them develop healthy self esteem and positive relationships, plus gives them tools and strategies that will help in all aspects of their life. Endorsed by Beyond Blue.
Reading Eggs & MathSeeds
These fun, engaging technology-based games help children learn foundational reading, mathematics and problem solving skills. Families enroled in our School Readiness program receive full access to these programs (valued at $250) at no additional charge.
Big Thinkers STEM
Our Big Thinkers STEM program focuses on engaging children's interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. It covers topics like natural science, weather, physics, and biology using a learning-through-play and hands-on approach.
Early Years Toolbox
This app-based assessment tool for children aged 4-5 years is designed to accurately assesses their learning and development in areas such as numeracy, vocabulary, working memory, and aspects of self-regulation. This information in turn helps educators identify future intentional teaching opportunities.
Aussie Wildlife Champions
Developed in partnership with the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, this program aims to support young children build an understanding of our unique Australian animals and habitats, as well as foundational aspects of conservation.
First Nations Education
We have partnered with Wandana Aboriginal Education to deliver a purpose-built Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural education program for children. This immersive cultural learning experience includes weekly classroom activities, as well as an authentic Aboriginal handmade artefacts and education kit.
Our Safety Commitment
At Milestones and Affinity Education, we believe that child safety is everyone’s responsibility. 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.
