Cottesloe Kindergarten and Child Care Centre is a 34-place centre for children aged one to six. We operate from 7:30am to 5:30pm, Monday to Friday, 48 weeks a year.The Centre is a place for children and families to explore, learn, build friendships, have fun and receive encouragement and care in an inclusive environment.
Our holistic approach to learning is based on the national Early Years Learning Framework. Cottesloe Kindergartena and Child Care Centre is rated as meeting the National Quality Standards in all seven quality areas.Daily activities and routines are developed with each child’s strengths, interests and needs in mind using input from children and parents. Our comprehensive monthly curriculum is adapted to each child’s personality, age and stage. Plus, we intersperse plenty of open-ended experiences, because we believe all children need to have fun and freedom to explore every day.
At CKCC, we value the rich learning experiences that incursions bring to our children. Throughout the year, children engage with a variety of topics, including Indigenous culture, native animals, science, music, health professionals such as dentists and doctors, and responsible pet care. These experiences help broaden children's understanding of the world around them in meaningful and engaging ways.
We also offer three specialist programs each week that form part of our curriculum. Children enjoy music sessions with Natasha from Making Music Academy, French lessons with Nouchka, and soccer coaching with Junior Goals. These programs provide opportunities for children to develop new skills, build confidence, and explore their interests in a fun and supportive environment.
Cottesloe Child Care Centre moved from Railway Street to our new premises on Marmion Street in late 2012. The site was previously occupied by North Cottesloe Pre-Primary.
Lotterywest funding allowed the Centre to complete a new build and renovate existing buildings and grounds with assistance from the Town of Cottesloe.
The result is an exceptional, purpose-built facility in an attractive, natural setting.
