At C&K Tewantin Community Childcare Centre, we welcome children from 6 weeks of age to 5 years old and provide care and early learning Monday to Friday from 7:00am to 6:00pm.
C&K Tewantin has a large open planned building, comprising of three rooms. Our surroundings consist of large natural play spaces including trees, scrubs, a large sandpit, a bridge with a dry creek bed, a water course, a boat, a cubby, climbing posts, decks, a vegetable garden with water tank, a bushtucker garden, water wall, swings, fort and mud patch. We encourage the native wildlife with bird feeders and have our own stingless native bees in the vegetable garden.
As a home away from home, our environment provides feelings of safety, security, and support while in the care of our qualified educators. At C&K, we support our team in nurturing play-based learning, developing caring relationships with children and our families, and fostering a lifelong love of learning with every child in our care.
Our centre has a combination of both age-based rooms and communal learning spaces where siblings and children of all ages can come together to learn and play. The large outdoor area is designed to take advantage of the natural environment and encourages children to explore, discover, play, and engage in nature.
C&K childcare centres offer quality education and care programs. We focus on a unique infant and toddler approach and deliver the approved kindergarten program for 4-year-olds. Best of all, we provide flexible options, so you can choose the hours of care to suit your family.
C&K Tewantin is located off Moorindil Street in Tewantin.

Programs
C&K has developed an Infant and Toddler Approach, which informs the way we care for and educate our babies and toddlers. Our philosophy for this age is to “slow down” and be in the moment with your child as they learn and explore the world. We focus on developing a deep and trusting relationship with each child.
All C&K childcare centres 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.
Your child’s learning and care 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.
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.
Flexible Booking Options: C&K offers flexible booking options, designed to help eligible families access and maximise the CCS, and minimise out-of-pocket fees. Our 9 and 10 hour sessions work in with your schedule and start once your child is signed in, not a set start and finish time.
Please visit our Childcare Fees page for more information.
