Rockhampton South Kindergarten

As a community kindergarten, affiliated with C&K Childcare and Kindergarten, our dedicated parents and teachers work together to create the best foundation for our children’s future.

Rockhampton South Kindergarten is a community kindergarten where children are supported to explore, discover and learn through play.
Located beside the beautiful Rockhampton Botanic Gardens, our kindergarten has been part of the local community for generations, providing a welcoming and nurturing environment for children and families.

Our history

For more than 50 years, Rocky South Kindy has provided a special place where children can grow as individivals, build confidence and prepare for the next important steps in their lives. Today, we remain proudly not- for-profit and community-based.

Rockhampton South Kindergarten (Rocky South Kindy) officially opened in October 1971, following the combined efforts of a dedicated group of parents who volunteered their time to create this beautiful Kindy.

Our land was donated by Rockhampton Council, and over the years our families and community have continued to support improvements to our Kindy through fundraising, grants and volunteering.

Learning Naturally

Our beautiful natural environment is an important part of life at Rocky South Kindy. Children are encouraged to explore, play and learn outdoors while developing an understanding of how to care for the world around them.

Sustainability is part of our everyday program. Through experiences such as recycling, composting, our worm farm, waste-free lunches and caring for our gardens, children learn that even small actions can make a difference.
