Cranbourne Daycare & Kindergarten Centre (CDC&KC), affectionately known as Judy Clarkson’s CDC&KC, proudly encompasses 6 Education centre -5 Centre Based Care & 1 OSHC.
These centres are all located in the central Cranbourne area. Established in 1968, 2018 was our 50th Year of Educating in our local community. Some 800 families in our community are cared for and taught life skills to take with them in their life journey from our centre educators and loving staff team.
All children in our centres are taught by qualified educators and we pride ourselves in offering small and intimate group sizes.
Our centres offer carefully developed educational programs for each individual child. We have fully funded kindergarten programs (state government funded) that are delivered by highly qualified, reputable and dedicated kindergarten teachers.
We have a fantastic before and after school care program that services 14 local schools in our community. We use our fleet of 7 mini buses and our 'walking school bus' to ensure the children arrive safely to and from school. Our purpose built OSHC service, Schoolie Central, provides an age appropriate program, with its own BMX track and basketball court, for children from Grade 4-6. During the school holidays we offer an action packed vacation program consisting of many excursions/ incursions and lots of FUN!
We welcome you to come in and have a look around our centres or feel free to contact our friendly team and we thank you for allowing us the opportunity to care for your child.
