C&K Parkhurst Childcare Centre
C&K Parkhurst Childcare Centre welcomes children aged 6 weeks to 5 years and provides high-quality early childhood education and care services Monday through Friday. We offer flexible booking options that allow families to select hours of care suited to their individual needs.
Our centre creates a home-like atmosphere that is welcoming, warm, and inclusive. We focus on individualised learning approaches and modify our physical spaces to support learning and development for all children. Our qualified educators build strong relationships with each child, maintaining a safe, secure, and supportive environment.
Our centre has a combination of both age-based rooms and communal learning spaces where siblings and children of all ages can come together to learn and play. The large outdoor area is designed to take advantage of the natural environment and encourages children to explore, discover, play, and connect with nature.
Our staff are one big family, coming from a diverse range of ages, career stages, and cultures. This diversity creates valuable opportunities to integrate different perspectives, cultures, and languages into our educational programming. The centre's comprehensive approach to inclusion and diversity ensures that every child, family member, and staff member feels safe, genuinely welcomed, and valued as an important contributor.
C&K childcare centres offer quality education and care programs where we focus on a unique infant and toddler approach, as well as delivering the approved kindergarten program for 4 year olds.
C&K Parkhurst sits just outside Rockhampton, providing convenient town access while preserving the benefits of an outdoor space designed for children to run, take risks, and learn in a purposefully designed environment. The centre is located on Yaamba Road with entry via 4 Mason Avenue, directly across from Parkhurst State School. Our close relationship with the school facilitates smooth transitions to prep and participation in events such as sports days.
