Where Children Come First

Branch and affilliated: what does it mean?

  • C&K branch centres are managed by C&K
  • C&K affiliated centres are managed by an elected volunteer management committee and are separately incorporated organisations. Both must adhere to the same licensing requirements.

 

What do we offer?

C&K offers a guarantee of respect for children, with qualified and dedicated professionals who recognise that every child is unique with individual needs. C&K offers your child caring, healthy, safe and fun educational surroundings geared for learning and optimal development.

C&K community kindergartens and childcare services employ university qualified early childhood teachers and offer excellent staff/child ratios. Family day care and OSHC providers receive full C&K training and undergo continuous professional development and monitoring to maintain C&K’s endorsement.

Our physical environments are designed to provide a true home away from home where your child will be encouraged to fulfil their natural inquisitiveness in a supportive and nurturing setting.

Our outdoor play spaces are much larger than the prescribed minimum standard and designed to encourage adventure and exploration in a safe and natural environment.

Importance of community

We believe it is important you and your family are given the opportunity to be involved in your child’s learning.

Being part of C&K means being part of a supportive, friendly, caring community that strongly believes children are our greatest asset.
