Welcome
Gundala is currently a one-unit Kindergarten which was set up in 1977 in response to the commitment and activism of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents who wanted their children to have the same access to early childhood education that was afforded to other children.
Located on Quandamooka Country for the last 30 years, Gundala is an affiliate of Crèche and Kindergarten Association and is governed by a voluntary parent management committee.
Gundala is growing into our vision of being a blueprint for inter-generational success. We get to be powerful contributors to our community by offering early childhood services which holistically responds to the needs and aspirations of our little children and families, a place embedded within cultural knowledge systems that are guided by our Ancestral wisdom, empowered by the needs of our children, ad inspired by the aspirations of out families.

Queensland Government Approved Program
We offer a unique kindergarten program based on our own internationally-recognised teaching guidelines - ‘Building waterfalls’. Our government-approved program is centred around a living and learning community that values children as competent and capable individuals. This play-based curriculum helps children to socialise, build confidence, and develop communication and early literacy and numeracy skills to ensure.
Child-Led Learning
No two days are the same at C&K Gundala. Our teaching team tailors each day’s learning, taking into account the interests of the children in the group. The spacious and natural environment at our kindy is thoughtfully planned and well resourced. There is a focus on music, drama, literature and visual arts and we allocate plenty of time for outdoors play and discovery.
Community Spirit
Community spirit is important to us at C&K Gundala. We foster strong ties to the local community by encouraging parent involvement in the daily operations of the kindergarten. We often hold and partake in community events and love connecting with local businesses and groups around us and taking the children on excursions out into the local community.
