Funding for Preschools

March 17, 2016 By editor

More than 2000 children in Calare will benefit from the Coalition Government’s National Partnership Agreement on Universal Access to Early Childhood Education.

Federal Member for Calare John Cobb said $840 million in federal funding will be available for quality preschool programmes across the country, and that these benefits would be felt across Calare. “The agreement
guarantees funding for 600 hours of quality preschool in the year before school, and includes a focus on lifting participation rates for children from vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds,” Mr Cobb said.

“This funding will help the 2128 preschool children aged between four and five who are enrolled at local preschools in Calare get the best start in life.” All states and territories including New South Wales have signed up to the National Partnership Agreement, seeing the funding flow into local
preschools.

The Coalition Government has committed to reforms worth $40 billion for early childhood education and care over the next four years, including more than $3 billion to ensure the system is more accessible, affordable
and fairer for families. The funding guarantees support for 15 hours of quality
preschool education a week for children in the year before school.
