Welcome to C&K nGundanoo Imbabee
At C&K nGundanoo Imbabee Child Care Centre, we welcome children from 6 weeks of age to 5 years old and provide care and early learning five days a week from 6:30am to 6:00pm for childcare and 8:00am to 5:00pm for kindergarten.
The service provides large natural outdoor environments where children can use the digging patch, stage and the timber cabin/cubby for their science and enquiry or imaginative play. The digging patch is a muddy area when wet and the children use this space for all different kinds of play experiences. There is a lot of natural shade in the outdoor environments allowing the children to play in a cool shaded space. There is scope for the children to use their imagination in the outdoor areas as the garden's provide the children with access to a range of different experiences. Children naturally move in an environment that is constantly changing from minute to minute and from season to season. These changes create an exciting place to play. Light changes, casting shadows and patterns of coloured light; the wind moves objects both fixed and free creating interest and intrigue.
You are welcome to visit our service on any business day. We have an open door policy and you are welcome to join your child during the course of the day if you have time available.

Infant and Toddler Approach
At C&K we are exploring new approaches for the educators that care for and educate our littlest people at C&K childcare centres. The Infant and Toddler approach, which we have developed, is all about being in the moment with your child. Our philosophy for this age group is to “slow down” and be in the moment with your child to allow them the opportunity to learn and discover at their own pace. We are focused on spending one-on-one time with babies and toddlers and developing deep and trusting relationships with each individual child.
Child-Led Learning
No two days are the same at C&K nGundanoo Imbabee. Each day’s learning is driven by the interests and ideas of the children. The spacious and natural environments within our centre are thoughtfully planned and well resourced, with opportunities to meet the needs and interests of all children who attend. This is achieved through the provision of combined indoor and outdoor play opportunities throughout the day. Play offers children many opportunities to develop friendships, explore, solve problems, help others, imagine, create, and extend on their interests.
Community Spirit
Community spirit is important to us at C&K nGundanoo Imbabee. We foster strong ties to the local community and encourage parent involvement in the daily operations of the centre. We often hold and partake in community events and love connecting with local businesses and groups around us.
