Together with the Australian Government, all state and territory governments have committed to provide access to a quality early childhood education program for all children, in the year before full-time schooling. Research shows that participating in a quality early childhood education program can significantly increase positive educational and life outcomes for children,
The Minister for Education, Mr Adrian Piccoli, has announced a $20 million initiative to reduce preschool fees for families with a 4 or 5 year old child. Our service has been allocated a one-off funding amount to enable us to reduce preschool fees for children that will be starting school next year.
We appreciate the Government’s recognition of the importance of a preschool education.
