The BEST Early Childhood Development Programs in Nundah QLD

C&K’s early childhood curriculum approach is used for children from birth to 5 in all our kindys and childcares. In the year before school, university-qualified teachers guide and support children to be curious, capable and collaborative learners. Our Infant and Toddler approach guides how we educate and care for our infants and toddlers. Our philosophy for this age is to slow down and be with your child as they are encouraged to explore the world. C&K recognises and respects the traditional custodians of Australia. We embrace and celebrate the diversity of children, families and communities across Queensland. We take the time to get to know you and your child, and provide places and spaces where everyone belongs.
