About C&K Arlington Drive Childcare Centre

At C&K Arlington Drive Childcare Centre, we welcome children from 6 weeks of age to 5 years old and provide care and early learning Monday to Friday, with flexible booking options.

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.

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.

We are located on the corner of Arlington Drive and Bunya Road, opposite Arlington Park and Arana Hills Dog Park.

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.

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 visited many daycare centres before choosing C&K Arlington, and we are so glad we did. From the beginning, it was clear this centre was something special. One of the standout aspects is the stability of the staff. There is very low staff turnover, which has created real consistency for my son. Every educator knows every child and this has made a huge difference in how settled and supported he feels. The educators genuinely care about each child as an individual. You can see the warmth, attention, and thought they put into understanding each child’s needs, interests, and personality. The centre does an amazing job of fostering creativity through engaging activities and play-based learning. Combined with their huge outdoor spaces, the environment encourages exploration, imagination, and active play. I have been recommending C&K Arlington to others since my son started attending, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing, high-quality daycare centre!

We have loved our experience of the Nursery at C&K Arlington Drive - our daughter has thrived there. The educators are friendly, caring and communicate well. Our daughter has had to start wearing an orthotic brace for hip dysplasia, and everyone at the centre has been understanding and accommodating of her different needs. Highly recommend!

Response from the owner 19 Nov 2025

We absolutely love CK Arlington! The educators are always so loving, caring, and genuinely invested in the children. It’s such a comforting feeling knowing that he’s in an environment where he is not only safe, but also happy and thriving. The team go above and beyond to create a nurturing, supportive space where the kids can learn, play, and grow. Our son has built such a strong bond with his educators, and it’s clear they treat every child with patience and kindness. We couldn’t ask for a better place for him at CK Arlington and it truly feels like a second home for our family.
