For Children. For You. For Always.  

Are you ready to do something that truly matters? 

At 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.  

But times are changing, and so are we. And although we’re passionate believers that children come first, we know our people must come first, too.  

Join us and find a better way with C&K - for children, for you, for always. 

“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 now work with so many wonderful people from the teams in the centres and all the people who keep things going at C&K Central. Even though C&K is pretty big organisation it just feels like family to me and I can't imagine being anywhere else. This year marks 18 years working with C&K and I'm looking forward to many more to come.”
