Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum

Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum is Australia’s most progressive approach to early education for children from birth to age five. It 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. Our educators and teachers are trained and accredited in the Lifelong Learning Curriculum by Affinity Education Group, Australia’s leading provider of early education and care. This 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. It aligns to Australia’s Early Years Learning Framework and offers a rich combination of play-based and intentional teaching experiences appropriate to each age group. Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum is based on what children learn, where they learn and how they learn.

Our centre provides a stimulating and fun environment to enhance your child's learning in their early years. Learning starts long before school, with the first five years of a child's life being crucial to laying the foundations for their ability to learn throughout their later years.

Meet our Team

Hi, my name is Nola McKinnon, and I am the Centre manager at Kids Academy Bulleen. I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care for over ten years and have been a centre manager for the last two and half years.
I am passionate about being in this amazing industry, being able to support, mentor and create an environment that is safe, inspiring, and adaptable to each child's evolving needs as well as supporting our families and educators. I joined Affinity Education Group, and thus Kids Academy, for the three C’s. Collaboration, cooperation, and communicating openly, are three words that require us to bring our community together.
My ability as a Centre Manager enables me to draw and inspire our amazing team at Kids Academy, drawing out their best abilities and utilizing their strength to reach objectives.
I am passionate about being the voice of your child when they are in our care, to give them a love of learning and wonderment in their surroundings. For me, it's extremely important to support each child's individual needs and development and create an inclusive environment for all children, families, and educators. It is also important in a child's life to create a love of learning that will inspire awe, curiosity, and wonderment in their environment, and carry this through their formative learning at schools.
My door is always open to listen, as we work together with your child's interest at heart, creating your community, and watching them flourish and become resilient in this world around us.

Big Thinkers STEM Program

Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) has always played a vital role in the development of our Lifelong Learning Curriculum for children in our preschool rooms (3-5 years*).   

The Lifelong Learning Curriculum - Big Thinkers STEM program is aligned to the Early Years Learning Framework, ensuring:  

Your child has a strong sense of identity - Through creating a safe secure and supported learning experience, your child will develop their emerging autonomy, inter-dependence, resilience, and sense of agency; through this, developing on their self-confidence with encouraging interaction with care, empathy and respect.
