Welcome

Deadly Kindy - This Deadly Kindy is supported by the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Services (ATSICHS). ATSICHS is one of the largest Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations in Queensland, and the second oldest community controlled organisation in Australia, established in 1973. ATSICHS aims to focus on increasing the attendance rates of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in kindergarten through respectful partnerships and quality community engagement.

Allied Health services – To compliment the desire for quality outcomes for children, ATSICHS also provides a suite of allied health and child health services available through their clinics to you and your child while attending the service, including:

  • Dental clinics
  • Audiology
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Child Psychology
  • Speech Pathology
  • Dieticians.

Child-Led Learning 

No two days are the same at Deadly Kindy Burragah. 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 outdoor play and discovery.

Community Spirit 

Community spirit is important to us at Deadly Kindy Burragah. 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.

Kindergarten, also known as pre-prep or preschool, is a program for children in the year before they attend school. When places are available, 3-year old children may be able to attend.

C&K's kindergarten programs are guided by university-qualified teachers and support children to be curious, capable, and collaborative learners.

At C&K we know that children do not learn in isolation, for us learning is partnership between teachers, children, parents, and communities. 

Our curriculum approach, Listening and Learning Together, aligns with both The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (EYLF), and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline (QKLG).

It continues the longstanding traditions and philosophical commitments of C&K to our children, families and communities. Read more about the history of C&K.

We've designed our indoor and outdoor spaces to ignite imaginations, nurture healthy minds and bodies, as children explore, experiment, play and learn.

Learning through play is an integral part of our education program. Our educators skilfully enrich and extend on children's play experiences, creating a learning program that is tailored and meaningful for your child.

Your child's learning journey is shared with you via conversations with your child's educators and through written documentation in your centre, and in some centres through StoryPark (an app and website).
