C&K Carseldine Community Childcare Centre welcomes children from 6 weeks to 5 years old and provides quality early childhood education and care Monday through Friday. We offer flexible booking options so families can choose the hours of care to suit their individual needs.

As a home away from home, our environment provides feelings of being safe, secure and supported while in the care of our qualified educators. At C&K, our team is supported to nurture play-based learning, develop caring relationships with children and families, and foster a lifelong love of learning with every child in our care.

The centre has a combination of both age-based rooms and communal learning spaces where siblings and children of all ages can come together to learn and play. Our spacious playgrounds offer established gardens, lovely shady trees, and a large sand pit in each play space.

C&K childcare centres offer quality education and care programs where we focus on a unique infant and toddler approach, as well as delivering the approved kindergarten program for 4 year olds. Kindergarten children are also able to participate in our Bush Kindy program.

C&K Carseldine is co-located with Rockpool Residential Aged Care. Our centre also provides an evidence-based innovative intergenerational program in partnership with Rockpool Residential Aged Care, creating enriching experiences for the children and the residents of Rockpool.

The centre is also the first Queensland childcare centre to be awarded a prestigious 5 Star, Green Star rating. This certification from the Green Building Council is a testament to C&K’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and teaching children the importance of conservation practices and protecting their environment.

C&K Carseldine is conveniently located in Carseldine Village, a short 10-minute stroll from Carseldine Train Station.

C&K has developed an Infant and Toddler Approach, which informs the way we care for and educate our babies and toddlers. Our philosophy for this age is to “slow down” and be in the moment with your child as they learn and explore the world. We focus on developing a deep and trusting relationship with each child.

All C&K childcare centres deliver C&K's quality kindergarten program. Kindergarten, also known as pre-prep or preschool, is a program for children who are turning 4 by June 30 in the year before they attend school. C&K’s kindy programs are government-approved and led by experienced and university qualified teachers. Our program supports children’s curiosity, creativity, problem solving, resilience and real-world knowledge and skills.

At C&K, we know that children do not learn in isolation, so we approach learning as a collaborative relationship between teachers, educators, children and families. We believe children are powerful learners, active citizens, thinkers and theorisers - this is at the heart of our early childhood curriculum. We've designed our indoor and outdoor spaces to ignite imaginations and nurture healthy minds and bodies. Learning through play is an integral part of our education program. Our educators skilfully enrich and extend children's play experiences, creating a learning program that is tailored and meaningful for your child.

Your child’s learning and care journey is shared with you via conversations with your child’s educators, through written documentation and through Storypark (an app and website).

Child Care Subsidy: The Australian Government helps eligible families with the cost of childcare via the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). For more information, please visit Services Australia.

Queensland Kindergarten Funding: The Queensland Government also provides funding for eligible-aged children (children turning 4 by 30 June, in the year they attend a kindy program), attending a centre delivering a government-approved kindergarten program. If eligible, you could receive up to 15 hours of free kindy per week, for 40 weeks.

Flexible Booking Options: C&K offers flexible booking options, designed to help eligible families access and maximise the CCS, and minimise out-of-pocket fees. Our 9 and 10 hour sessions work in with your schedule and start once your child is signed in, not a set start and finish time.
