Welcome

We extend a warm welcome to you from the team at C&K Kedron Childcare Centre. We are housed in a purpose-built facility which accommodates children between the ages of 6 weeks to 5 years. As a home away from home, our environment provides feelings of being safe, secure and supported while in the care of our qualified educators.

Our Facilities

Our service has a combination of age-based rooms and welcoming spaces that provide opportunities for a variety of ages to interact. We also offer a unique outdoor environment with large natural play spaces. We encourage the care of our natural world through teaching responsibility and sustainability practices. 

We have an all-inclusive daily service fee including nutritious meals prepared fresh daily, quality nappies, t-shirts, water bottles, hats and visiting entertainment. We have been granted a commercial kitchen license by Brisbane City Council, with the maximum 5 Star rating and a qualified chef to prepare food daily.

Relationships

We pride ourselves on our connection to the natural environment, our relationships with families and the community, and the inclusion of, and celebration of all cultures. Our Kedron centre reflects the C&K philosophy of inclusiveness and our spaces are designed to promote competence, independent exploration and nature-based play.

At C&K childcare centres, we have introduced the Birth to Three approach which informs the way our educators care for, and educate our youngest children. Our philosophy is to "slow down" with your child as they learn and discover. Educators are focused on spending one-on-one time with babies and toddlers to develop trusting relationships.

Our Team

Our team is led by Jeannie Prangell, Fiona Pile and Charne Paulson.

We warmly invite you to place your child’s name on our waitlist (click the pink Enrol now button above) and become a part of the C&K Kedron community. Together, we can nurture our children and build a strong foundation to continue their journey in learning and life.

C&K has developed a Birth to Three 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 feature the quality C&K 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 guided by University qualified teachers and support 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, learning is a collaborative process between teachers, children and parents. The physical indoor and outdoor environment also plays a part. At C&K we believe children are competent and capable learners, and approach our education program with this in mind.

How can flexible bookings help?

C&K offers flexible booking options, designed to help you maximise your Child Care Subsidy and access to early childhood education and care while minimising family's out-of-pocket costs. 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. 

I have more questions, who can I talk to?

If you have any other questions or concerns, please contact us on 07 3857 1534.

How does C&K decide fees?

As a not-for-profit organisation, C&K reinvests any surplus back into our centres and programs to better achieve outcomes for all children and communities. 

We aim to keep fees affordable for families and have developed a fee system to maximise family access to available subsidies. Read more about C&K's fee policies.
