About our kindy
At Dimbulah Community Kindergarten, we acknowledge and respect the culture, background and history of each child and family. We seek to ensure that each of these individual needs are respected and considered in all aspects of our service. Dimbulah Community Kindergarten was officially opened on 4th September, 1993 by an enthusiastic and dedicated group of parents. We provide a Queensland Government approved kindergarten program which services children in the Dimbulah, Mutchilba and Chillagoe areas. As a community of learner’s we respectfully acknowledge the Bar-Barrum people who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which our kindergarten is situated, along with our diverse multicultural community. We believe that children learn best through play and assist the children to develop an understanding and respect for themselves and others. We believe that families are a child's first place of learning and are critically important in the education of their children. We believe our staff are an integral part of each child’s development and education.
C&K Affiliated Centre
As an affiliated centre of C&K, Dimbulah Community Kindergarten 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.
Child-Led Learning
No two days are the same at Dimbulah Community Kindergarten. Our teaching team tailor each day’s learning taking into account the interests of the children in the group. The spacious environment at our kindy is thoughtfully planned and well resourced. There is a focus on music, drama, literature and visual arts and time spent discovering the natural environment outdoors.
Community Spirit
Community spirit is important to us at Dimbulah Community Kindergarten. We foster our strong ties to the local community by encouraging parent input and involvement in the daily operations of the kindergarten and programming decisions. We often hold and partake in community events and love connecting with local businesses and groups around us.
