Our Lifelong Learning Curriculum
At Papilio, we nurture a lifelong love of learning through a combination of play-based and intentional teaching experiences which help your child develop emotional confidence, social connectivity, foundational learning, and physical health and wellbeing.
Our qualified teachers and experienced educators are trained in Affinity Education's Lifelong Learning Curriculum, Australia's most advanced approach to early education.
Exclusive to Affinity Education operated centres, the Lifelong Learning Curriculum draws on the best models of early education, including the traditional practices from Montessori and Reggio Emilia, but also incorporates contemporary research and evidence informed practices drawn from attachment theory and the Circle of Security, language development from Abecedarian, and Project Based Learning.

Learning Environment for Every Age

Babies (0-1 years)
Healthy Beginnings Program
Grounded in attachment theory and relationship practices, this program focuses on building secure, responsive relationships between babies and their educators. With nurturing care and emotional attunement, we support babies’ overall wellbeing and development.

Toddlers (1-3 years)
Early Experiences Program
Inspired by the Abecedarian Approach, our toddler program emphasises language-rich interactions, such as conversational reading and learning games. These early experiences build the foundations for strong communication, social skills, and cognitive growth.

Preschool or Kindergarten (3-5 years)
School Readiness Program
Through Project-Based Learning, children are encouraged to explore big ideas, solve problems, and collaborate with others. This hands-on, inquiry-driven approach develops critical thinking, independence, and a love of learning that lasts.
