Inclusive environments

Whichever C&K early childhood service you choose for your child you can be assured they will be treated equally. C&K services provide inclusive environments and programs to meet the different and diverse needs of all children and their families accessing our services.

We appreciate, respect and encourage individuality and the interdependence of all children, including those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, those of Australian Indigenous descent and children with a disability or special need.

Children with additional needs

We strongly advocate equity of opportunity, access, treatment and outcomes for all children. We are happy to work with parents whose children have special needs so they can be included and take part in everyday activities as much as possible.

C&K services are pIaces where families are supported and can obtain professional advice and guidance.

Parents of children with particular needs, such as specialised equipment or an adult support person, should discuss this with the teacher when enrolling so appropriate provision can be made. A partnership between
parents and teaching team is particularly important and C&K teachers are experienced in sharing information and seeking regular feedback from parents. You are encouraged to talk with the teacher regarding any concerns you may have about your child’s behaviour or development.
