C&K Bellbowrie Kindergarten & Preschool, which sits in Jagera and Turrbal land in beautiful Bellbowrie, offers kindergarten for 3.5 to 5.5 year old children.

Our dedicated kindy room and large leafy grounds has a variety of unique, inviting built and natural environments for children to explore and learn.

With an enthusiastiac team of child-centred educators, we are dedicated to providing a high quality pre-school experince in a nurturing, inclusive environment.

An important part of our program is supporting risky play. Evidence based research shows wide ranging benefits for children who have an opportunity to engage in experiences that contain an element of (or the perception of) risk. Outcomes including resilience and confidence are essential foundations for happy, healthy children.

Nature play is also integral to our program. Our wonderful grounds provide ample opportunity to engage with the natural world and to put into practice the explicit teaching and everyday sustainability routines embedded in our practice.

We pride ourselves on the strong relationships we build here at C&K Bellbowrie and are committed to working in partnership with families and the wider community to nurture and achieve the best outcomes for each child.

As an affiliated centre of C&K, Bellbowrie 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.

Groups

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.
