All our kindergartens deliver C&K's quality 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 government-approved and led by experienced and university qualified teachers. Our program supports 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, so we approach learning as a collaborative relationship between teachers, educators, children and families. We believe children are powerful learners, active citizens, thinkers and theorisers - this is at the heart of our early childhood curriculum. We've designed our indoor and outdoor spaces to ignite imaginations and nurture healthy minds and bodies. Learning through play is an integral part of our education program. Our educators skilfully enrich and extend children's playexperiences, creating a learning program that is tailored and meaningful for your child.
Your child’s learning journey is shared with you via conversations with your child’s educators, through written documentation and through Storypark (an app and website).

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.
