Kilkivan Kindy is a C&K Affiliated Community Kindergarten. C&K Kindergartens offer a unique curriculum to guide kindergarten learning, known as Building Waterfalls. This frame-work complements Australia’s Early Years Learning Framework and the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines.

At our Kindy all of our families are encouraged and welcomed to stay and play with your child at any time. We support any level of involvement you wish to have. We aim to make you feel valued and welcomed as part of our learning community, share information about your child’s learning experiences and involve you in your child’s investigations, passions and discoveries.

Following is an overview of the fee structure. There is information regarding our fundraising activities and requirements that will help you decide which option is best suited to your family.

Thank you for your interest in the Kilkivan Kindergarten. Please feel free to spend time in our Kindy, with your child, and meet our wonderful teachers and our families.

Obligations and Expectations

As the saying goes “Many Hands Make Light Work” so we all try to work together to co-ordinate fundraisers which makes them enjoyable and social events for our Kindy families. Because the fundraising option means you benefit by paying reduced fees, it is only fair for all fundraising families to participate as equally as possible.

You will be required to participate in at least one (1) major fundraiser per term. However it is common for our families to participate in two (2) or three (3) fundraisers per term. Please note that you can choose to have another family member or friend fundraise on your behalf if you are unable to help at a particular event/s.

If you are unable to participate in the major fundraiser for that term, you maybe given the option to contribute at another event during that term. However if you fail to involve yourself with fundraising activities, you will forfeit your Fundraising Deposit ($200) and will be invoiced full Non-Fundraising Fee’s for that non participating term and for the remainder of the year.

You may be asked by a committee member to co-ordinate/work at or sell tickets, for many of our fundraisers throughout the year.

Kindy meetings are held the 2nd Wednesday of every month at 3.15pm (during a school term). This keeps you informed and gives you more choice in fundraising events. Your attendance is recommended and appreciated.
