At Dimbulah Community Kindergarten and Childcare, we welcome families from the Dimbulah and surrounding areas who are seeking education and care for their children.Dimbulah Community Kindergarten was officially opened on 4th September 1993 by an enthusiastic and dedicated group of parents. The Limited Hours Childcare service opened on 8th October 2004 and merged with the kindy under the one approved provider on 1st January 2024.We respectfully acknowledge the Mbarbaram and Djungan people, the Traditional Owners of the land on which our centre is situated, along with the diverse multicultural community who enrich our service. We believe that children learn through play and assist every child in developing their understanding and respect for themselves and others in a safe and caring environment. We believe that families are a child's first teachers and are critically important in the education of their children. We believe our dedicated and consistent staff are an integral part of each child’s development and education.We operate during QLD school terms and are closed for school holidays, public holidays and pupil-free days (kindy only).As an affiliated centre of C&K, Dimbulah Community Kindergarten and Childcare 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.

Kindergarten 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.
Childcare offers education and care to children from 15 months to 5 years of age before they attend school. The Programs are led by experienced certificate and diploma-qualified staff, with an emphasis on play-based learning that recognises the importance of communication, language, and social and emotional development. We follow the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).
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.
