Alma Street Pre-Prep

Kindergarten
3.5 years - 5 years
NQF Rating: Exceeding

At Alma Street Pre-Prep, we believe the journey of early childhood education should be as nurturing as it is educational. "Alma," derived from Latin, means kind and nourishing, and this concept forms the very essence of our centre.

Located in Gympie, our program focuses on the innate nature of young children and the deeply embedded sense of belonging and quality relationships between the child, the family and the Educators at Alma Street Pre-Prep. These relationships are the foundation for child-led, play based programs.

We have four 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, Alma Street Pre-Prep 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

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.
