At C&K Mooloolaba Childcare Centre, we welcome children aged 6 weeks to 5 years and provide high-quality early childhood education and care from Monday to Friday. We offer flexible bookings, allowing families to select care hours that match their individual needs.

Since 1982, we have played an important part in the lives of hundreds of children and their families in and around the local area. We are proud of our expansive natural outdoor learning space that includes chickens, vegetable gardens, native bees, and composting. Our two nature-based playgrounds inspire challenging and open-ended play where children are provided with uninterrupted time to explore and engage in learning. Our centre’s philosophy recognises children as powerful learners, thinkers, theorists, and active citizens.

As a home away from home, our environment provides a safe, secure and supported space for your child. The established team consists of dedicated, approachable, and professionally qualified staff who champion play-based learning methodologies while cultivating lifelong enthusiasm for discovery and growth.

C&K Mooloolaba has a diverse range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds among our families and staff. This rich diversity creates opportunities to integrate various cultures and languages throughout daily programming. Our approach to inclusion and diversity ensures that every child, family and staff member feels safe, welcomed, and important.

C&K childcare centres offer quality education and care programs. We focus on a unique infant and toddler approach and deliver the approved kindergarten program for 4-year-olds.

C&K Mooloolaba is located on Ocean View Avenue in Mooloolaba, positioned just 5 minutes from Mooloolaba Beach and Mooloolaba State School. The centre sits within a peaceful residential neighbourhood with abundant street parking available for families.

C&K has developed an Infant and Toddler Approach, which informs the way we care for and educate our babies and toddlers. Our philosophy for this age is to “slow down” and be in the moment with your child as they learn and explore the world. We focus on developing a deep and trusting relationship with each child.

All C&K childcare centres deliver C&K's quality kindergarten program. Kindergarten, also known as pre-prep or preschool, is a program for children who are turning 4 by June 30 in the year before they attend school. C&K’s kindy programs are government-approved and led by experienced and university qualified teachers. Our program supports children’s curiosity, creativity, problem solving, resilience and real-world knowledge and skills.

At C&K, we know that children do not learn in isolation, so we approach learning as a collaborative relationship between teachers, educators, children and families. We believe children are powerful learners, active citizens, thinkers and theorisers - this is at the heart of our early childhood curriculum. We've designed our indoor and outdoor spaces to ignite imaginations and nurture healthy minds and bodies. Learning through play is an integral part of our education program. Our educators skilfully enrich and extend children's play experiences, creating a learning program that is tailored and meaningful for your child.

Your child’s learning and care journey is shared with you via conversations with your child’s educators, through written documentation and through Storypark (an app and website).

Child Care Subsidy: The Australian Government helps eligible families with the cost of childcare via the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). For more information, please visit Services Australia.

Queensland Kindergarten Funding: The Queensland Government also provides funding for eligible-aged children (children turning 4 by 30 June, in the year they attend a kindy program), attending a centre delivering a government-approved kindergarten program. If eligible, you could receive up to 15 hours of free kindy per week, for 40 weeks.
