At C&K Anne Shearer Kindergarten & Preschool, your child will feel safe, make friends, and belong.
C&K Anne Shearer was established in 1957 by Miss Anne Shearer, who founded the kindergarten movement on the Redcliffe Peninsula. We aim to provide an enriched environment where your child can truly grow as an individual and be prepared for the next important step in their life.
C&K Anne Shearer has beautiful, large landscaped gardens providing an open natural learning environment where the children explore, investigate, and extend their learning. Our indoor space fosters child-led experiences and provides many different and inspiring opportunities to play and learn.
Our teachers and educators focus on nurturing your child's curiosity, building their resilience and developing their confidence - all through the joy of learning through play.
At C&K Anne Shearer, we provide an extended hours program until 6pm and a holiday program during Queensland school holidays. These programs are included in your daily fee. We have a 5 days a fortnight or a 5 days a week program to choose from.
Visit Kindergarten with Extended Hours for more information.
C&K Anne Shearer is located on Sydney Street in Redcliffe, off Oxley Avenue and next door to Redcliffe Memorial Swimming Pool.

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.
C&K's Kindergartens with Extended Hours offer continued learning after the kindergarten program ends for the day. The extended hours program is led by a diploma-qualified educator and supported by an assistant educator. There is a half-hour overlap between the kindergarten program lead educator and the extended program lead educator each day. Educators will share highlights and continuing plans for the day.
Your child’s learning journey is shared with you via conversations with your child’s educators, through written documentation and through Storypark (an app and website).
Enrolment Fee: The enrolment fee is a one-off, non-refundable fee payable when you confirm your child’s enrolment. Some families may be exempt from paying the enrolment fee.
Child Care Subsidy: The Australian Government helps eligible families with the cost of childcare via the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). For more information, please visit Services Australia. If you are eligible for CCS, your daily fee will be reduced by your eligible CCS rate. Please email us for a quote.
Queensland Kindergarten Funding: The Queensland Government also 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. If eligible, you could receive up to 15 hours of Free Kindy per week for 40 weeks.
At this centre, the daily fee the extended hours and holiday programs are optional. Free Kindy is applied during the 4 school terms. The subsidy does not apply to the extended hours portion of the day or during the holiday program. Eligible families can continue to claim CCS for these times.
