Coen Kindergarten

Kindergarten
3.5 years - 5 years

Welcome to Coen Kindergarten, where your child will feel safe, make friends and belong. 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.

We believe that children learn best through play and need to develop an understanding and respect for themselves and others. We believe families are a child's first place of learning and are critically important in the education of their children.

At Coen Kindergarten, we have one kindy group to choose from. We also offer a Limited Hours Care Program on Thursday and Friday from 8:00am to 12:30pm during school terms. This program is open to children aged between 15 months and 5 years. We operate during QLD school terms and are closed for school holidays, public holidays and some pupil free days.

Our centre has a free bus service that is available to all Coen Community Kindergarten children who require transport to and from the centre.

As an affiliated centre of C&K, Coen 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.

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.
