About C&K Kedron Childcare Centre

At C&K Kedron Childcare Centre, we welcome children from 6 weeks of age to 5 years old and provide care and early learning five days a week from 7:00am to 6:30pm.

As a home away from home, our environment provides feelings of being safe, secure and supported while in the care of our qualified educators. At C&K we support our team to nurture play-based learning, develop caring relationships with children and our families, and foster a lifelong love of learning with every child in our care.

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. Our spacious playgrounds offer established gardens, lovely shade trees, and a large sand pit in each play space. There are many play opportunities for the children across all areas of development, encouraging each child's natural curiosity to play and discover.

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. Best of all, we provide flexible options where you can choose the hours of care to suit your family.

We are located on Emerald Street in Kedron via Gympie Road.

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Kindergarten Program

Our dedicated and qualified teachers and educators nurture healthy minds and bodies, celebrating each child’s individual strengths to support their participation and growth towards their full potential. We co-design vibrant learning communities with children, families, and communities, ensuring your C&K centre is a place where your child feels safe, makes friends, and belongs.

Our indoor and outdoor spaces ignite imaginations and foster curiosity, allowing children to explore, experiment, play, and learn. Educators are open to your child’s ideas and will guide their social and emotional growth. Your child will have opportunities to explore, solve problems, develop friendships, use their creativity, and play. We also prepare children for the transition to school and a lifelong love of learning.

All C&K community kindergartens and childcare centres deliver a government-approved kindergarten program.

Infant and Toddler Approach

C&K has developed a specialized infant and toddler approach, guiding the care and education of our youngest learners. Our warm and professional educators "slow down" to be in the moment with your child as they explore the world. We focus on developing deep, trusting relationships with each baby and toddler, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and secure through consistent routines and rituals.

Babies and toddlers are naturally curious about the world, and we delight in sharing their sense of wonder.

Play-Based Learning at C&K

Play-based learning at C&K reflects the children, educators, families, and communities at each centre. Our teachers and educators enrich and extend children’s play in meaningful ways. For example, if a child is playing in the sandpit, an educator might encourage them to draw maps in the sand or measure water levels, supporting literacy and numeracy development.

Programs at C&K centres may also include:

Nature Play: Time to play freely outdoors, connect with nature, and use natural materials.

Risky Play: Safe exploration of questions like "Can this branch take my weight?" under expert supervision.

STEM: Inquiry-based experiences incorporating Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

Literacy and Language: Talking, reading, conversing, drawing, and playing with open-ended materials.

The Arts: Exploring creativity through visual arts, drama, music, movement, and a variety of materials.

First Nations Peoples' Histories and Perspectives: Learning about and respecting the connections to land, sea, and sky in all our programs.

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

C&K has developed a Infant and Toddler Approach which informs the way we care for and educate our babies and toddlers. Our philosophy for this age is to “slow down” and be in the moment with your child as they learn and explore the world. We focus on developing a deep and trusting relationship with each child.

All C&K childcare centres deliver C&K's Quality Kindergarten Program.

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, learning is a collaborative process between teachers, educators, children and families. At C&K 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 on children's play experiences, creating a learning program that is tailored and meaningful for your child.

Our Education Program

C&K's early childhood curriculum, Listening and Learning Together:

C&K Curriculum Approach, serves children from birth to five years old across all our kindergartens and childcare centres. This approach aligns with The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia (EYLF) and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guideline (QKLG), integrating contemporary practices and understandings of the early years.

Our educators skillfully partner with children and families to create caring and vibrant learning communities. In the year before school, university-qualified teachers guide and support children to become curious, capable, and collaborative learners. For children from birth to three, our infant and toddler approach focuses on slowing down and being present as they explore the world.

At C&K, we see children from birth as thinkers and theorisers, rich in ideas and knowledge, powerful learners, and active citizens. We work with an anti-bias curriculum to promote fairness, empowerment, and respect, modeling equity and inclusion. We honor every child’s right to play, build on their existing learning from home, and provide foundations for lifelong learning.

We would recommend for sure- Understanding the challenges child care and kindy centres face these days, we feel C&K Kedron have done a great job in developing our children. Life after the experience has been great. I am lucky enough to coach a sports team with 6 children that attended this centre. They are not only polite and well behaved they have a positive winning together attitude, which is a reflection of their early learnings. Thanks, Regina and team :)

We have two children enrolled in C&K and have been at the centre since 2021. It is a supportive, caring and nurturing environment with kind and thoughtful educators and staff. The families make this beautiful community, so many great connections have been formed not only between the children but with parents too. My son is in the kindy room and daughter nursery and we have experienced all transitions and room changes, which have been gently supported by staff on all levels. Great directorship and management here. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

Love how the center make sure that everybody is supported and help the families in whatever they can. The educators are amazing and very caring..the educator asked my son would you go with mommy or me to home and without thinking he ran to Leane his main educator, this made me so happy because I know he is loving it. Jeane, Charne and Karen in the management are very helpful and supporting and make sure we are physically and mentally supported. Thanks C&K, Chris would love his journey in in center until he will be in prep 😀
