Nurturing curious minds. Growing confident, capable children.

Our Sessional Kinder program is a funded 3 to 4 year-old kindergarten program with no out of pocket costs for CCS approved families.

These funded sessions mirror the quality, structure and educational focus of traditional sessional kindergarten.
