C&K’s early childhood curriculum Listening and Learning Together: C&K Curriculum Approach is used for children from birth to 5 in all our childcare centres.

All centres deliver a government-approved kindergarten program with a bachelor-qualified Early Childhood Teacher.At C&K, we value learning through play and create opportunities for rich learning experiences that follow each child's unique interest. We see children from birth as thinkers and theorisers rich in ideas and knowledge, as powerful learners and active citizens.We carefully use an anti-bias curriculum to promote fairness, empowerment, and respect and to role-model equity and inclusion. We honour every child’s right to play, build on their existing learning from home, and provide foundations to be a life-long learner.Some days learning can look like simple play, but we know that is where the magic happens.
