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. And as a child safe organisation, we put children's safety and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do, creating nurturing spaces where children can learn, explore, play and grow.
Help shape the future as a Relief Educator with C&K.
As part of our Relief Educator team, you’ll bring joy and discovery to children across our beautiful regions — from the coastal charm of Mackay and the beautiful tropical calm of Port Douglas and Holloways Beach to the welcoming country communities of Warwick, Roma, Stanthorpe and Townsville. Wherever you go, you’ll be supported by passionate people who care deeply, about children, families and you.
Whether you’re helping out for a day or a week, your impact lasts a lifetime. You’ll create safe, engaging environments where children can explore, belong and grow, all while building your own experience and enjoying the flexibility to work where and when it suits you.
In return, you’ll enjoy:
Join a team that puts children, and you, at the heart of everything we do.

Established in 1907, C&K is proud to be the largest and longest established provider of community based early childhood education and care services in Queensland.
Our philosophy, where children come first, emphasises the fact that for C&K the interests of children are paramount. Any profits generated from our services are returned to benefit children and the community.
We are committed to providing quality education and care for your child’s pre-schooling years (from birth to school age) in an environment − both inside and outside − that enables children to explore, satisfy their natural curiosity and grow as individuals. Independent research indicates that children who have enjoyed a C&K early learning experience are the most successful in their first years of schooling.
Over the last century hundreds of thousands of Queensland children and parents have become part of the C&K family. As a community based association we recognise the valuable role families and the wider community play in children’s education and care.
