C&K as an organisation are wonderful! I have been provided with so many more professional experiences than I personally believe I would not have been able to get anywhere else. C&K invest in their educators through professional conversations, professional development and providing educators with the opportunity to participate in projects that advocate for Early childhood and more specifically children's outcomes

Jackie Bulst – Director (C&K Middlemount Community Childcare Centre)

One of my favourite parts of my job is when I get to go out to our centres and interview inspiring educators and teachers about their practice and pedagogy for the Ed Hub and for online learning modules. There is so much exceptional practice that occurs every day in our centres, and I love helping people articulate the work they do and then sharing those Stories of Practice far and wide.

I also work in an incredible team (C&Ks Education and Research team), with people I deeply respect and learn from every day – it makes it easy to come to work.

Kate Redward - Education and Digital Content Advisor (C&K Central)

What I immediately noticed with C&K was the genuine and respectful nature of the staff. I saw how passionate they were about teaching and how they placed children’s learning and well-being as a top priority. This is what I enjoy about working with C&K; the staff truly embody the company’s purpose of nurturing and inspiring children to succeed in an ever-changing world. Again, I feel thankful to be working at C&K, as I am inspired by other educators to continuously find new and innovative ways to develop children’s learning further.

Mackenzee Nicolson - Educator (C&K Gumdale Community Kindergarten - Extended Hours Program)

C&K aligned with my values and beliefs on what early childhood education should look, feel and be like. I am very proud to be a part of such a wonderful organisation that has supported and nurtured me on so many levels. I knew early on that I wanted to give others the same start to their careers that I had... C&K aligned with my values and beliefs on what early childhood education should look, feel and be like.
