You're Invited to our Open Morning!
Please join us Wednesday 3rd June, 9am -10.30am.
Explore our learning spaces, chat with our passionate educators, and experience the warm, welcoming community we've built together. Our Open Morning is the perfect opportunity to discover why so many Queensland families choose C&K.
We warmly invite you and your family to visit C&K Taranganba Community Kindergarten and experience the magic of our Nature Garden - a vibrant natural space where children learn through exploration, play, and discovery.
Our Nature Garden is more than an outdoor space, it's an environment that inspires young minds. Here, children dig, observe, and create, developing a deep connection to Country. They could be watching insects at work, or building imaginative play spaces with natural materials, or engaging in safe risk-play. Every moment is a valuable opportunity for meaningful learning.
We believe that children thrive when they are given the freedom to explore and ask questions. As educators, we guide this learning journey, encouraging problem solving, developing balancing, cognitive skills, teamwork, creativity, and confidence in an environment that is culturally safe and exciting. The garden enables environmental awareness and opportunities to develop social skills, resilience, and a sense of wonder. A visit to our Kindergarten will give you a chance to witness this unique approach in action.
See for yourself this refreshing environment where children engage joyfully within their surroundings, forming friendships and building knowledge through hands-on experiences. We will be available to share our experiences and how our program supports each child’s growth and development.
We would love to welcome you, show you around, and share how our Nature Garden will help your children flourish naturally.
We're opening our doors and would love for your family to come and see what makes C&K Kelso such a special place for children to learn, play, and thrive.
