C&K, our purpose is to make a positive impact on children’s lives. It’s what we’ve been doing for more than 115 years. Through evidence-based thinking, hard work and true compassion, we’ve built a trusted reputation as Queensland’s leading provider of early childhood education. And as a child safe organisation, we put children's safety and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do, creating nurturing spaces where children can learn, explore, play and grow.

Help Shape Futures at C&K Upper Kedron Childcare Centre!

Are you passionate about creating inspiring learning experiences for children? At C&K Upper Kedron, our Lead Educators play a key role in building a safe, supportive, and playful environment where every child feels seen, heard, and encouraged to explore.

Nestled in the natural bushland of Upper Kedron, our beautiful centre was designed with input from our educators and families. With wide open outdoor spaces and plenty of nature to discover, it’s the perfect place for little adventurers to learn, imagine, and grow — and for educators to bring early learning to life in creative and meaningful ways.
