Teacher

Ready to do something that matters - for now and for life? Bring your passion for early childhood teaching, and create confident lifelong learners.

**For Children. For You. For Always.**

At C&K Mooloolaba Childcare Centre, we welcome children from 0 to 5 years old and provide care and early learning five days a week from 6:30am to 6:15pm.

C&K Mooloolaba Childcare Centre is a branch service of C&K. This early childhood education centre began with Maroochy Shire Council in 1982 and transitioned to C&K in 2007. Since 1982 this centre has played an important part in the lives of hundreds of children and their families in and around this local area.

At C&K, our purpose is to make a positive impact on children’s lives. It’s what we’ve been doing for more than 115 years. Through evidence-based thinking, hard work and true compassion, we’ve built a trusted reputation as Queensland’s leading provider of early childhood education.

But times are changing, and so are we. And although we’re passionate believers that children come first, we know our people must come first, too.

Join us and find a better way with C&K - for children, for you, for always.
- “C&K mean what they say. Putting children first is an embedded part of all their thinking and decision making. I love working with like-minded people.”_
