At Albany Creek Community Kindergarten, play takes centre stage in your child’s education, where children are given time to explore, discover and learn! Since 1972, Albany Creek Kindergarten has been providing education to children in the local community.

We incorporate a unique Bush Kindy program into each of our Kindy classes and also offer a pre-kindy program. Our passionate teachers and educators are highly qualified and experienced.

Our purpose-built building and expansive outdoor play spaces are designed to nurture children’s development in a caring community environment. Our mission at Albany Creek Kindergarten is to provide children with a play enriched environment and build partnerships with families and the community. We strive for high quality early childhood education and care where we support children to become lifelong learners.

We have five program groups to choose from, so you can enrol your child in a group that best meets your family's needs.

As an affiliated centre of C&K, Albany Creek Kindergarten receives support from C&K as the Central Governing Body but operates as an independent incorporated association managed by a volunteer management committee. Centres affiliated with C&K receive comprehensive support in governance, including managing kindergarten and inclusion funding, training for committees and educators, advice and support regarding inclusion, use of the C&K brand, curriculum approach and resource materials.

Programs

All our kindergartens deliver C&K's quality kindergarten program. Kindergarten, also known as pre-prep or preschool, is a program for children who are turning 4 by June 30 in the year before they attend school. C&K’s kindy programs are government-approved and led by experienced and university qualified teachers. Our program supports children’s curiosity, creativity, problem solving, resilience and real-world knowledge and skills.


At C&K, we know that children do not learn in isolation, so we approach learning as a collaborative relationship between teachers, educators, children and families. We believe children are powerful learners, active citizens, thinkers and theorisers - this is at the heart of our early childhood curriculum. We've designed our indoor and outdoor spaces to ignite imaginations and nurture healthy minds and bodies. Learning through play is an integral part of our education program. Our educators skilfully enrich and extend children's play experiences, creating a learning program that is tailored and meaningful for your child.
