“The Association offers the choice of community-based early childhood experiences for local families. Under the umbrella of the Association, the centres provide a stimulating and supportive environment for our children’s first steps along their pathway of learning – the key to which is the direct involvement of parents and the expertise of the staff at these centres.”
Victoria Newton, Patron
“I always enjoyed hearing the children tell me that they ate everything, or ‘I had two bowls Donna!!’ Always a pleasure to hear that. The children certainly know how to make you feel happy with what you are doing.”
Donna, Cook at the Nash Street Childcare Centre for 27 years
“I am a mother of three children – aged seven, five and three – and have been on the Management Committee for the past three years (Vice President 2012; President 2013). I chose Sandgate C&K Kindergarten because it is run by the community for the community and in my three-year association with the Kindy, I believe that it fulfils this mandate. As an affiliate centre of C&K, I believe this centre embodies the C&K vision which is “Childhood fulfilled” and their mission – “Where children come first”. My children have certainly experienced these things in their time here.
Pippa van Wijk, President, 2013
“I cannot recommend Sandgate Childcare highly enough. As a father of three children, all of whom have started their educational journey at Sandgate Childcare, I have been continuously pleased with the level of care at the centre. Sandgate Childcare is not your usual “care-by-numbers” childcare facility. The centre’s teachers – and I call them that because that’s where their priorities lie – are all brilliant, long-term employees who genuinely care for the kids. I couldn’t imagine sending my children anywhere else.”
Jason Davis, parent
