Welcome
Welcome to C&K Jinibara.
C&K Jinibara is nestled within the Jinibara State School grounds and is an important part of the school community. C&K Jinibara is a recognised kindergarten program provider and has been open since 2012. The kindergarten caters for children attending school the following year and has 4 groups attending a 5 day per fortnight program and a 2 long day program.
We are part of the Jinibara State School community with the kindergarten attending the school’s sports carnival and book parade. The children also visit the school library to borrow books. This supports the children’s important transition to school.
The staff are committed to ensuring a safe and nurturing environment that nurtures the child’s love of learning and exploration. Our approach to learning is to facilitate, extend and enrich the learning experiences and relationships of children. We encourage families to have valuable input into the program and value their knowledge, experiences and cultural backgrounds.
Child-Led Learning
No two days are the same at C&K Jinibara. Our teaching team tailors each day’s learning, taking into account the interests of the children in the group. The spacious and natural environment at our kindy is thoughtfully planned and well resourced. There is a focus on music, drama, literature and visual arts and we allocate plenty of time for outdoor play and discovery.
Community Spirit
Community spirit is important to us at C&K Jinibara. We foster strong ties to the local community by encouraging parent involvement in the daily operations of the kindergarten. We often hold and partake in community events and love connecting with local businesses and groups around us and taking the children on excursions out into the local community.
