The colleagues that I work with are like sisters, like family I never had. It’s easy to come to work when you love children and the people you work with. To me, it’s not just a job. I feel so supported by everyone at C&K. Caring for children and helping them grow brings me so much joy and I’m proud to play such an important role in their lives.

We're shaping futures, one child at a time.

Children playing with colourful resources

I chose C&K because when I did my research and asked people I knew who had worked here before they spoke so well of C&K. I have still been able to have my work-life balance supported now that I have taken on the Director-Teacher role in a one-unit kindy as the schedule lets me support my family’s needs.

In my 12-year career, C&K has been the most community and child-focused company I have ever worked for. My team is new, but together we have cultivated a kind and positive atmosphere. The beauty of our children, families, and community is truly remarkable.

The encouragement and support from the team and families have been incredible - they see beyond qualifications and truly value your heart. Regardless of who you are, your voice is respected, and the passion of everyone shines through every day as the children and families walk through the door.
