C&K has proudly nurtured Queensland children for 116 years. As a not-for-profit organisation, we always put children at the centre of everything we do, and deliver innovative early learning programs that honour every child's curiosity, individuality and potential.
We look forward to welcoming you! 💛
Florence Kindergarten & Preschool is turning 70!
A 70th Anniversary Open Day will be held from 9am-noon at the kindergarten, 15 Beaconsfield St, Margate.
There will be games, a sausage sizzle, coffee, baked goods stall, face painting, a raffle and lucky door prize, and a wildlife encounter!
All past, present, and future children, families, and staff are welcome.
Searching for the right childcare or kindergarten can be challenging. Many factors must be considered before making this important choice, including location, availability, routines, quality ratings, educator experience, resources and inclusions, and, of course, the feel of the centre.
We have been learning, growing and playing alongside children for over one hundred years, and our top tip when choosing the right centre for your child is to visit and experience the magic of C&K yourself.
Every year, we invite our families and community to Open Week, which runs from Monday, June 2, to Saturday, June 7, across 170 early childhood education and care centres Queensland-wide!
Open Week provides a wonderful opportunity for families to step inside our vibrant learning environments, meet our passionate educators, and witness firsthand the magic that happens in our warm, welcoming spaces dedicated to childhood growth and discovery.
