Yeronga Park Kindergarten

Kindergarten
3.5 years - 5 years

Welcome to Yeronga Park 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! Yeronga Park Kindergarten was established in 1950 and is a community run, not-for-profit kindergarten managed by the parents of children attending the centre. We believe children are unique, capable individuals with their own story to tell. We are committed to providing children with a stimulating, natural environment. We value time in nature and advocate its importance in young children’s lives.

Our Kindy grounds often elicit a response from visiting families. They are shady and spacious and include a wonderful treehouse, sandpit, and covered play areas with landscaped gardens built to entice little gardeners and imaginative minds. Our chickens love their enormous enclosure and the children who help care for them. YPK is an extremely well-resourced centre providing kindy the way it’s meant to be, play based and child lead. Our staff are experienced, nurturing, and innovative. They have welcomed generations of children and their families to the kindy. We invite you to come and visit us and see our wonderful kindy environment for yourself.

At Yeronga Park 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.

As an affiliated centre of C&K, Yeronga Park 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.

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.
