C&K Bradman Street Community Long Day Care Centre

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. Kindergarten, also known as pre-prep or preschool, is a program for children who are turning 4 by June 30 in the year before they attend school. 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. Your child’s learning and care journey is shared with you via conversations with your child’s educators, through written documentation and through StoryPark (an app and website).C&K has developed a Infant and Toddler Approach which informs the way we care for and educate our babies and toddlers.

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.
