About our kindy
Steeped in history, our Kindergarten has been around for almost 60 years. In fact, we are a third-generation kindergarten, and we're proud to say that we have families where grandparents, parents and children have all passed though our doors.
Here at Caloundra Community Kindergarten, we believe that nature is the best environment to nurture children. Not only do we educate sustainability and recycling and encourage waste-free lunch boxes, but we have a menagerie of animals on site, too: chooks, worms, native bees, frogs, butterflies, and a fairy garden.
Our happy, experienced educators provide an amazingly inspirational play-based learning environment. The natural space for children to grow. Together, our staff have nearly 100 years of experience delivering learning excellence specifically for 3-5 year old Kindergarten children.
C&K Affiliated Centre
As an affiliated centre of C&K, Caloundra Community 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.
