West Chermside Pre-Prep

Kindergarten
3.5 years - 5 years

West Chermside C&K Pre-Prep offers a pre-prepatory (kindergarten) program for children aged 3 years to 5 years. Providing a play-based curriculum and excellent facilities, the children thrive as they explore, play and interact in our caring, learning environment.

Our high-quality, five day fortnight Kindergarten (pre-prep) program operates during school terms and focuses on each child’s development with the benefit of C&K’s experience and resources.​

We strive to create a wondrous atmosphere for the children above and beyond the norm; be it picking fresh mulberries, caring for the pet chickens, gazing at the fish, enjoying some quiet time on the veranda or creating mini dams with the hand pump and sustainable water course.

At West Chermside C&K Pre-Prep we have two models of delivery for families to choose from. We operate during QLD school terms. We also offer extended hours until 6pm on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

As an affiliated centre of C&K, West Chermside C&K Pre-Prep 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.

General information

Groups

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.
