OUR CHILDREN COME FIRST

Established in 1972 by a group of parents, Cairns Community Kindergarten has a strong reputation for excellence in Early Education. Our Kindergarten provides a learning environment that nurtures and inspires children to take risks, to be curious and to love learning.

As a community-based Kindergarten, parents are the decision makers and community is at the heart of everything we do.

C&K CURRICULUM

Our C&K Curriculum, “Listening and Learning
Together” recognises the value and richness of play
as a catalyst for children’s learning and their ongoing
engagement in meaningful experiences.
When children play they approach experiences with
interest, ownership, empowerment and possibility.

The Curriculum reflects the expectations of the
Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the
Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines
(QKLG).”
