How We Nurture Your Child's Learning & Development at Kids Academy

Lifelong Learning Curriculum

Kids Academy's qualified educators and teachers are trained in the Lifelong Learning Curriculum for ages 0-5. This curriculum has been developed by Affinity Education, the leading provider of early childhood education in Australia.

At Kids Academy, we nurture a lifelong love of learning through a combination of play-based and intentional teaching experiences which help your child develop:

  • Social connectivity
  • Emotional confidence
  • Foundational learning
  • Physical health and wellbeing

The Lifelong Learning Curriculum 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.

The 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. Aligning closely to Australia's Early Years Learning Framework, it is based on what children learn, where they learn and how they learn.

Our goal at Kids Academy is to grow and instil a lifelong love of learning in children’s first five years so they can realise their full potential.

School Readiness

Children aged 3-5 years

Your child will be given the very best start before they begin Primary School where they will delve into enquiry based project work, and literacy and numeracy programs. 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.

How We Help Kids Reach Their Full Potential

Kids Academy educators and teachers are attuned to the needs, personalities and interests of each child and establish trusting and secure relationships to allow children to feel the confidence to connect with others and explore their learning potential. We carefully document and analyse children’s learning and participation, and after reflection and consultation with children and families, use this information to guide curriculum decisions, program provisions and interactions. We engage with children in play and conversation, to support learning and acquisition of new skills. And our educators provide inclusive environments which allow for choice, challenge, group engagement or solitary play and a flexible routine that adapts with the children’s natural rhythms, interests and needs.
