Cranbourne Day Care & Kindergarten Centre

Welcome to Cranbourne Day Care & Kindergarten Centre (CDC&KC), located at 3 Duff Street in Cranbourne, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest in our community, CDC&KC has been providing exceptional education and care for children since 1968. In fact, 2018 marked our 50th year of educating in the local area.

At CDC&KC, we take pride in offering a nurturing environment where approximately 800 families are cared for and taught life skills by our dedicated educators and loving staff team. All of our educators are qualified professionals, and we maintain small and intimate group sizes to ensure personalized attention for each child.

Our centres offer carefully developed educational programs tailored to the individual needs of every child. We are proud to offer fully funded kindergarten programs delivered by highly qualified and reputable kindergarten teachers. Additionally, we provide before and after school care services for 14 local schools in our community. With our fleet of 7 mini buses and our "walking school bus," we ensure the safe transportation of children to and from school.

For children in grades 4-6, our purpose-built OSHC service, Schoolie Central, offers an age-appropriate program that includes a BMX track and basketball court. During school holidays, we offer an action-packed vacation program with exciting excursions and incursions to keep children engaged and having fun.

Convenience is an important aspect of our centres, as we have 7 locations around Cranbourne and Clyde. This ensures that there is a centre near you to cater to your needs. In 2023, CDC&KC will proudly participate in the Victorian "Free" Funded Kinder Scheme, reducing your out-of-pocket costs by $50 per week during the school terms without affecting your ability to access our longer hours.

We understand that every family has unique circumstances, which is why we offer flexibility to suit your needs. Our goal is to provide quality education programs across all 7 of our centres, giving you peace of mind knowing that your child is learning and growing in a safe and supportive environment.

Don't just take our word for it – hear what some of our parents have to say about their experiences at CDC&KC:
