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).

The heart of C&K Slade Point Community Kindergarten is a vibrant puppet named Edgar, who is doing more than just entertaining; he’s transforming lives. Edgar began as a simple tool to support emotional regulation. But what followed was nothing short of extraordinary. With his bright colours and gentle presence, Edgar quickly became a beloved "teacher" among children, easing transitions, sparking joy, and fostering kindness.
🏆A big round of applause for Natalie McDougall from C&K Slade Point Community Kindergarten, the Winc Education Playful Pedagogy Award winner! Natalie won this award for the extraordinary introduction of Edgar. Read more about the award here.
From calming anxious little ones to encouraging heartfelt acts of compassion through “Edgar’s Kindness Wall,” Edgar’s impact ripples through every corner of the kindergarten. His ability to connect with children has inspired a deeper partnership between early childhood and primary educators, helping to create smoother transitions and shared teaching practices.
Edgar may be made of fabric and fluff, but the magic he brings is very real. He’s not just a puppet; he’s a catalyst for joy, empathy, creativity, and community-wide transformation.
