Welcome to Yamanto Community Kindergarten. A place where play takes centre stage in your child’s education and where children are given time to explore, discover and learn! We aim to provide an open learning environment which reflects the needs, interests & experiences of individual children, their families & the surrounding community. We work in collaboration with our families and the wider community to enhance the children and learning in a meaningful way. In a warm and caring atmosphere children experience many opportunities to explore, solve problems, develop friendships, imagine, use their creativity and extend their capabilities in language, literacy & numeracy. We encourage independent, motivated thinkers who can make choices & learn through play.
At Yamanto Community Kindergarten, we have two 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 skillfully enrich and extend children's play experiences, creating a learning program that is tailored and meaningful for your child.
As an affiliated centre of C&K, Yamanto kindy 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.
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.
