East Street Community Kindergarten & Preschool

Kindergarten
3.5 years - 5 years

Welcome to East Street Kindergarten. At the C&K East Street Community Kindergarten & Preschool, we believe that children need time to be children. Our highest priority is what is best for children - not private shareholders. All profits from our services are reinvested in children and the community. We live by our defining statement: Where children come first, by ensuring our children receive the highest quality education and care possible.

International studies consistently confirm the four essential elements needed for a child's optimal emotional, physical and intellectual growth and development. These are:

  • a nurturing, stimulating, caring and fun-filled environment
  • university qualified early childhood trained teachers
  • play-based learning
  • involvement of parents and / or carers

These studies validate our centre’s long-held, core belief that a play-based early years education and care environment, supported by parents and the greater community, is crucial for a child's best possible development.

At East Street Kindergarten, we have four kindy groups to choose from. All groups ensure children receive the same number of hours of education across the year. The groups have a maximum of 22 children and are led by an experienced and qualified early childhood teacher. We operate during QLD school terms and are closed for school holidays, public holidays and some pupil free days.

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.
