Welcome to C&K Carseldine
At C&K Carseldine Community Childcare 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 6:30pm.
As a home away from home, our environment provides a safe, secure and supported space for your child. Our dedicated, friendly and qualified staff nurture play-based learning, fostering a life-long love of learning. Our families love our large natural outdoor area, where we encourage children to explore, discover, play and engage in nature.
We have a wide range of cultural and linguistic background with our families and staff. This provides us the opportunity to incorporate these cultures and languages throughout the centre. Our approach to inclusion and diversity ensures that every child, family and staff member feels safe, welcomed and important.
Our centre also provides an evidenced-based innovative intergenerational program in partnership with Rockpool Residential Aged Care, creating enriching experiences for the children and the residents of Rockpool.

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 Carseldine. 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 Carseldine. 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.
Intergenerational Program
C&K Carseldine is leading the way with innovative programs, including the new evidenced-based, intergenerational program pilot being run with the residents of Rockpool Residential Aged Care. The program provides opportunities for the children and aged-care residents to interact, creating meaningful connections and fostering social and emotional development for both generations.
5 Star, Green Star Rated Centre
C&K Carseldine is the first childcare centre in Queensland to achieve a 5 Star, Green Star rating, certified by the Green Building Council. The building design incorporated new construction techniques to improve energy and water use and includes solar panels, water tanks and a recycling program to reduce waste and carbon emissions. This provides a beautiful opportunity to engage with the children on the importance of sustainability, conservation practices, and protecting the environment.
