Affinity Education

Affinity Education operates a national network of early learning centres across Australia, delivering research-informed early childhood education and care from birth to school age. Founded in 2013, it describes itself as one of Australia's largest early childhood education providers, with thousands of educators and support staff. Its centres operate under the brands Milestones, Papilio, Kids Academy and Aussie Kindies, and all deliver the Lifelong Learning Curriculum.

Affinity Education Group was founded in 2013. In 2015 the Lifelong Learning Curriculum philosophy was established, and in 2017 the Affinity Learning Academy launched, delivering fully funded qualifications to team members nationally. In 2022 the company partnered with the University of Wollongong to pilot the Early Years Toolbox, now rolled out across all centres, and in March 2022 it became the first early education provider in Australia to achieve Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace accreditation. In March 2023 the Lifelong Learning Curriculum launched nationally, fully aligned to the EYLF v2.0, and in May 2023 the Big Thinkers STEM program launched.
