C&K Ripley Childcare Centre welcomes children aged 6 weeks to 5 years and provides high-quality early childhood education and care services Monday through Friday. We offer flexible booking options that allow families to select hours of care suited to their individual needs.

At C&K Ripley, each child is respected for their individuality. We understand that every child learns differently, and we ensure that the needs of each child and their families are met. We celebrate diversity, whether that is culture, religion, neurodiversity, or parenting styles. We acknowledge that parents are a child's first and primary educators, and we do our best to work collaboratively alongside families.

The centre features a combination of age-specific rooms and shared 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. There are multiple play opportunities for the children across all areas of development, encouraging each child's natural curiosity to play and discover.

C&K childcare centres offer high-quality education and care programs. We focus on a unique infant and toddler approach and deliver the approved kindergarten program for 4-year-olds.

C&K Ripley is situated at the corner of Nevis Street and Fischer Road in Ripley, a short 3-minute drive from Ripley Central State School. To the delight of the children, the centre backs onto “Scott’s Farm”, providing daily opportunities to spot cows.

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.
