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.
Queensland Kindergarten Funding: The Queensland Government provides funding for eligible-aged children (children turning 4 by 30 June, in the year they attend a kindy program) attending a centre delivering a government-approved kindergarten program. This funding allows your eligible-aged child to attend kindergarten for free.
Non-eligible-aged Children: Enrolment priority is given to eligible-age children, but if there are places available, we welcome 3-year-old children to enrol and attend for two years. The Queensland Kindergarten Funding does not apply for 3-year-old children, and the non-eligible kindy daily fee will apply. Please contact us for more information on fees for 3-year-old children and to discuss your family's situation.
