About our kindy
Welcome to Kawana Kindergarten! Florence Kindergarten is a stand-alone service which was established in 1989 by community effort and volunteer labour. We are proud of the strong and respectful relationships we build with our children, their families and our wider community. Our natural, unhurried and homely environment welcomes children, and their families, to play, explore, create and make new friendships. We embrace each child’s unique spirit and believe they will thrive through developing a sense of belonging, connectedness and wellbeing. This is reflected in our underlying values where we work on building strong foundations of love, care, respect and mindfulness. We believe play is a child’s work, and children will learn at their own pace, and thrive when they have a sense of belonging, connectedness, and wellbeing. We take a holistic approach to a child’s development – of the mind, body, and spirit – and nurture these through meaningful and authentic programmes, interactions, and experiences
C&K Affiliated Centre
As an affiliated centre of C&K, C&K Kawana receives support from C&K as the Central Governing Body but operates as an independent incorporated association, managed by a volunteer management committee. Centres affiliated with C&K receive comprehensive support in governance including managing kindergarten and inclusion funding, training for committees and educators, advice, and support regarding inclusion, use of the C&K brand, curriculum approach and resource materials.
Child-Led Learning
No two days are the same at C&K Kawana. Our teaching team tailor each day’s learning taking into account the interests of the children in the group. The spacious environment at our kindy is thoughtfully planned and well resourced. There is a focus on music, drama, literature and visual arts and time spent discovering the natural environment outdoors.
Community Spirit
Community spirit is important to us at C&K Kawana. We foster our strong ties to the local community by encouraging parent input and involvement in the daily operations of the kindergarten and programming decisions. We often hold and partake in community events and love connecting with local businesses and groups around us
