Cranbourne Day Care & Kindergarten Centre

Welcome to Cranbourne Day Care & Kindergarten Centre (CDC&KC), located at Cooper Court, 2 in Cranbourne, Australia. We are a renowned establishment in the heart of the community, providing exceptional care and education to children for over 50 years.

At CDC&KC, we have 6 education centers, including 5 Centre Based Care facilities and 1 Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) program. All of our centers are conveniently located in the central Cranbourne area, ensuring easy access for families in the community.

Since our establishment in 1968, we have been dedicated to nurturing and teaching life skills to over 800 families. Our team of qualified educators and loving staff members create a warm and supportive environment for children to thrive in.

We take pride in offering small and intimate group sizes, ensuring that each child receives personalized attention and care. Our centers provide carefully developed educational programs tailored to the needs of each individual child. We are also proud to offer fully funded kindergarten programs, delivered by highly qualified and dedicated kindergarten teachers.

In addition to our exceptional care and education during school hours, we offer an outstanding before and after school care program that services 14 local schools in our community. With our fleet of 7 mini buses and our "walking school bus," we prioritize the safety of children as they travel to and from school. Our purpose-built OSHC service, Schoolie Central, offers an age-appropriate program for children in Grade 4-6, complete with its own BMX track and basketball court. During school holidays, we provide an action-packed vacation program filled with exciting excursions and incursions.

With 7 locations across Cranbourne and Clyde, we are sure to have a center near you. And starting in 2023, we are proud to participate in the Victorian 'Free' Funded Kinder Scheme, which reduces your out-of-pocket costs by $50 per week during school terms without affecting your ability to access our longer hours.

We understand that each family has unique needs, which is why we offer flexibility to suit your schedule. Our priority is to provide quality education programs across all of our centers, ensuring that your child is learning and growing while in our care.

But don't just take our word for it. Here's what some of our parents have to say:

"My kids have been going to Judy Clarkson's centers for over 4 years and I've found them to be fantastic. The most amazing, caring staff work there, and they treat all the kids like a big family."

"Love this place. My children have grown with so much confidence thanks to the love and support from the staff."

"My son has been attending Judy Clarkson Centers for the past 8 years, and he loves all the staff and the friendship with all the kids."

"A safe, happy, friendly & amazing center my eldest loves attending, and so will my two other children as they grow."
