We have 2 program groups to choose from, so you can enrol your child in a group that best meets your family's needs.

Bundara Kindergarten
A friendly hello from Bundara Kindergarten! We are a not-for-profit community Kindergarten nestled among the gumtrees in the suburb of Frenchville in Rockhampton. We first opened our doors in 1972 and have been welcoming families ever since. We'd like our families to view Bundara Kindergarten as an extension of their home and we actively encourage families to be involved with all our events and activities. On kindergarten days at Bundara, your child will have the opportunity to explore, experiment, observe, imitate and discuss. Bundara offers ample off street parking, and arrivals/departures are an easy process as we are not attached to a primary school. We are however located in a close proximity to many of Rockhampton's leading primary schools. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming your family soon.
At Bundara Kindergarten, we have two kindy groups to choose from. All groups ensure children receive the same number of hours of education across the year. The groups have a maximum of 22 children and are led by an experienced and qualified early childhood teacher. We operate during QLD school terms and are closed for school holidays, public holidays and some pupil free days.

At C&K Taranganba, we identified a need for children to create and have access to long-term Bushcraft structures. This allows children opportunities to visit a structure, so they can extend their ideas. In the past we have built a selection of shelters, Bushcraft ladders, a Bushcraft seat, and navigated using the sun.
We love teaching children real-life skills such as knot tying and building which develops fine and gross motor skills and problem-solving skills. At our kindergarten, we believe it is important to give children the resources, times and space to explore their building choices. Many children learn building strategies from their peers and as a result, become more competent and capable themselves. We brainstorm ideas as a group to extend children's project builds.
C&K Taranganba is located on Taranganba Road, situated behind Taranganba State School a 10 minute drive south of Yeppoon.
