About our kindergarten with extended hours program

C&K Mooloolah Community Kindergarten offers a Kindergarten with Extended Hours model, which includes an extended hours program and holiday program during the Queensland school holidays.

Kindergarten Program: 8:15am to 2:15pm
Extended Hours Program: 2:16pm to 6:15pm
Holiday Program: 8:15am to 6:15pm

When you enrol at C&K Mooloolah, you are enrolling in all three programs. Individual programs cannot be selected separately. Your daily fee covers the cost of the kindergarten program, the extended hours program and the holiday program.

Families can choose to enrol their child in either a 5 day fortnight group or a 5 day a week group.

Please see below for the 5 day fortnight group options:

Group A: Monday, Tuesday, and alternate Wednesdays, 8:15am to 6:15pm
Group B: Thursday, Friday, and alternate Wednesdays, 8:15am to 6:15pm

Understanding your fees

The Queensland Government's Free Kindy subsidy is applied to the kindergarten program during the four school terms, covering 15 hours per week for 40 weeks of the year.

Free Kindy does not apply to:

  • the extended hours program (2:16pm to 6:15pm), or
  • the holiday program during Queensland school holidays (8:15am to 6:15pm).

Eligible families may be able to claim the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), a Federal Government subsidy, for the extended hours and holiday program components.

Before you enrol, C&K can provide an estimate of your out-of-pocket costs. Please email us for an estimate. You can also download our fact sheet for more information.

Learning through nature

Located on Gubbi Gubbi Country, C&K Mooloolah offers a weekly Nature Kindy program. Children spend time immersed in the natural environment, building a strong connection with nature through exploration, discovery, curiosity and creativity. During the cooler months, we safely incorporate fire experiences as part of our Nature Kindy program.

A welcoming community for children and families

Our experienced and passionate educators build strong partnerships with families to create a welcoming, inclusive and supportive environment. Through play-based learning, we nurture children's curiosity, resilience, confidence and lifelong love of learning.

Conveniently located on the corner of King Road and Bray Road, our kindergarten is just a five minute walk from Mooloolah State School.

Spring Holiday Program

Our spring holiday program commences on 21 September and will operate throughout the Queensland School Holidays to 2 October.

Groups

All our kindergartens 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.

C&K's Kindergartens with Extended Hours offer continued learning after the kindergarten program ends for the day. The extended hours program is led by a diploma-qualified educator and supported by an assistant educator. There is a half-hour overlap between the kindergarten program lead educator and the extended program lead educator each day. Educators will share highlights and continuing plans for the day.

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