Upgrade funding for local children’s services
Four local early childhood services will share in Brumby Labor Government funding for renovation and refurbishment works.
State Member for Prahran, Tony Lupton, said the centres were 4 of 223 services across the state to receive grants to upgrade their existing facilities.
“The Brumby Labor Government is taking action to give Victorian families access to the quality services they need so their children have the best possible opportunity to learn and develop to their full potential,” Tony Lupton said.
Local centres to receive funding include:
- $33,000 for Fawkner Park Children’s Centre, 65 Toorak Rd West, South Yarra
- $41,950 for Renown Kindergarten, 20 Cliff St, South Yarra
- $99,923 for St Kilda and Balaclava Kindergarten, 23 Nelson St, Balaclava
- $95,200 for St Kilda Steiner Pre-School, 435 Inkerman St, East St Kilda
“Locally these grants will be used for a range of works including playground upgrades, outdoor sail shading, interior building improvements such as new carpeting and the expansion of storage and play spaces,” Tony said.
“Our local early childhood services do a fantastic job of helping to prepare our children for their future education. These are services that parents rely on and this funding will help our local kindergartens to ensure that the facilities and spaces is at a standard that matches the high quality work that the staff in every centre put in for our children.”
The renovation and refurbishment works to be carried out at these facilities have been identified by the services as important to help them maintain, grow and expand services to meet the needs of families in their area.
“It is fantastic that through these grants we are helping local kinders and childcare centres deliver the services and facilities that local families need,” Tony added.
