Love your Local C&K
in Rockhampton
With more than 115 years in early childhood education and care, C&K is regarded as one of Queensland's leading childcare and kindergarten providers.
Our Rockhampton C&K childcare centres and kindergartens strongly focus on engaging in nature play, bush kindy, and venturing beyond the fence to learn from the natural world around us. We co-design vibrant learning environments with children, families, and communities. Our qualified and passionate educators and teachers celebrate each child’s individual strengths to support them in growing towards their full potential. They believe that every child can achieve their full potential through nurturing happy and healthy minds, hearts, and bodies.
About C&K's kindy program
C&K's structured, play-based kindergarten program is led by university qualified teachers for children in the year before they attend school. Children attend kindergarten or a kindergarten program in childcare for up to 30 hours per fortnight, for the school calendar year. C&K's kindergarten program focuses on helping children to develop a wide range of essential skills and prepares them for their transition to school.
C&K's community kindergartens are usually open for approximately six hours per day, for example 8.30am to 2.30pm, five days per fortnight (3 days one week and 2 days the following week) but can vary depending on the kindy. A community kindergarten group has up to 22 children, who are turning four years of age by the end of June.
