Childcare
C&K has 40 childcare centres throughout Queensland for children from 6 weeks to 5 years.
For babies and toddlers, our philosophy is to slow down and be in the moment with your child, as they learn and explore the world. We partner with families so that your C&K childcare centre can become an extension of your home. We appreciate that every family has individual needs which is why we offer flexible booking options, designed to help you maximise your Child Care Subsidy (CCS) with 10 hour, 9 hour or full day sessions available to choose.
Each of our childcare centres deliver a government-approved kindergarten program. Eligible aged children can access for free, up to 15 hours a week.
