C&K Carseldine Community Child Care Centre

C&K Carseldine Community Childcare Centre is a branch service within C&K and is situated on the Brisbane Northside. Close to public transport, Carseldine is nestled within the natural surroundings of the old QUT campus where we enjoy nature, flora and fauna. Set back form the main road, please take the Gate 1 access and follow the driveway to the allocated car park for families, visitors and guests.

The centre, which has been here for 20 years, was previously operated by the QUT Student Guild, and in 2010 transitioned into a C&K branch service.

Carseldine caters for ages 6 weeks to 5 years including Government Approved Kindergarten Program. The need within the community in relation to care for children aged 6 weeks to 3 years is quite high and therefore our waiting lists are extensive. If you are considering placing you child within our service, please fill out an online waiting list form as soon as possible.

Carseldine Childcare is an open planned building with high ceilings and Breezair cooling systems. Our surroundings consist of large, natural play spaces including trees and shrubs, large sandpit, swings, bike tracks, mud patch and a courtyard. We adhere to our Sun Safety policy by providing shade sails, shaded veranda areas and numerous foliage. Our future plans for our outdoor play space is for the construction of bridges, dry creek beds, edible/sensory garden, recycled water tanks and turf.

C&K Carseldine embraces C&K’s nationally acclaimed and highly regarded curriculum Building waterfalls – a play based curriculum which encourages children to express their own ideas and understandings in play and through the visual and performing arts.

In process of representation, as they play with others, engage with materials and idea, children’s language and social abilities are fostered. They are encouraged to think flexibly and creatively as they seek salutation to conflicts and problems.

To qualify for our kindergarten room your child must attend a minimum of 2 days per week.
