We have a strong emphasis on children engaging with the environment and being able to exercise choices which match their interests and capabilities.
We pride ourselves on fostering an inclusive community and learning environments in which the diversity and individuality of families and children is recognised and celebrated. C&K believes that the inclusion of all children is a mutually enriching experience for our children, their families, C&K personnel and C&K stakeholders. Individuality and the interdependence of all children, including those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and children with additional needs, are appreciated, respected and encouraged by C&K.
We are positive your child will enjoy their time here with us and look forward to sharing time with you and your family as well. We offer an open invitation to families to play an active role in the centre and input to our programming.
