Kuranda Community Kindergarten

Kindergarten
3.5 years - 5 years

At Kuranda Community Kindergarten, your child will feel safe, make friends and belong.

We have a large outdoor setting with lots of trees, a stream and two sandpits. Our kindy room is always open to the outdoors with large windows and four large sliding doors. At our kindy, we celebrate uniqueness, kindness, and working together.

Our language and culture program is woven into everything we do at Kuranda Kindy. We explore many languages, including Djabugay, sign language, and the many different languages and cultures of the families whose children attend our kindy.

Our staff all live in Kuranda and love working at the Kuranda Kindy. We are located in a quiet area next to Kuranda Community Precinct (old school) in the rainforest village of Kuranda.

We have two program groups to choose from, so you can enrol your child in a group that best meets your family's needs. We provide early learning for children aged 3 1/2 years to 5 1/2 years old.

As an affiliated centre of C&K, Kuranda Community 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.
