Welcome
Welcome to C&K The Gap Community Kindergarten, proudly rated as EXCEEDING NATIONAL QUALITY STANDARD as part of the National Quality Framework.
The Gap Community Kindergarten was established in 1972 and in 2009 the kindergarten became a branch centre with direct governance by The Creche and Kindergarten Association. In 2011 the kindergarten located to its present site where The Gap State School was founded. We are a 2 unit centre providing a 5 day fortnight kindergarten program to 4 groups of 22 children with 2 groups attending daily. Enrolments are for children who are turning 4 years of age by 30 June in the year of attendance.
Our kindergarten is unique in having a large Nature Space that directly adjoins our back playground. Commencing in term 2 of each year we access this space weekly with the children. Nature play provides the children with many opportunities to challenge themselves, explore, create and connect with the natural world.
