King's Early Learning is the early learning centre of King's Christian College. King's Early Learning operates centres at both our Reedy Creek and Pimpama campuses.
The aim of King's Early Learning is to prepare children for the start of school. King's Early Learning operates child care classes and provides a pre-program for children in the year prior to starting school. Pre-prep classes are specifically designed to prepare children for entry into prep at King's Christian College.
Working in partnership with families, our programs seek to engage children in the learning process with ‘hands on’ experiences suited to children’s interests and needs. We are convinced that if children eagerly participate from an early age, a positive attitude towards lifelong learning is established.
Children are well prepared for a transition into our school prep program. In both centres - Reedy Creek and Pimpama, our pre-prep rooms are located close to the prep classrooms. During the pre-prep year, students start to regularly visit and use school facilities, thus becoming even more familiar with their future surroundings.

Prep is the first year of primary school in Queensland. The prep program uses the Australian curriculum to provide students with foundation knowledge in literacy and numeracy and provides the basis for learning throughout the primary school.
Pre-prep is the pre-school year run by our early learning centre - Noah's Ark @ King's. It is a year specifically designed for children who are due to start school (prep) the following year. The pre-prep program develops the social and emotional skills as well as the basic literacy and numeracy skills needed in order for children to flourish at school. Our pre-prep classrooms are adjacent the prep classrooms at King's. The preparation and familiarity help children to start school confidently.
Prep is the first year of school and children are eligible to start prep if they turn 5 by June 30 of that year. At King's, children who attend pre-prep have priority for available prep places. It is likely that children enrolled in pre-prep will take up most, if not all of the available prep places.
It is never too early to consider enrolling your child into school. Available places at your school of choice will be limited and application for prep can be made at any time with a birth certificate as evidence of age.
The prep start year calculator will tell you the year your child is due to start prep based on his or her date of birth.
Prep is the first year of primary school and so the hours are similar to the rest of the primary school. The prep day starts at 8.30 am with the rest of the school and finishes slightly earlier at 3.00 pm. There are 2 breaks during the day but, unlike preschool, there is no sleep time.
