Celebrating boosts: Sutherland Shire preschools are starting the new year with newly-received funds from the NSW government.
More upgrades are on the way for preschools, which join their fellow Sutherland Shire little learners in getting NSW government funding.
Five preschools in the Cronulla electorate will be receiving upgrades, thanks to an initiative that aims to continually improve the environment of preschool services.
A total of $73,185 has been invested in community preschools in the Cronulla electorate, as part of the Quality Learning Environments program, which will fund improvements to preschool grounds and buildings, and specialised educational programs for children.
Preschools in the Miranda electorate also benefit from funds this year.
In this round of the grant program, the following services in the Cronulla electorate will receive upgrades:
- $14,776 for Caringbah Uniting Pre-School Kindergarten to install shade sails in the outdoor learning environment and presentation by Taronga Zoo Zoomobile.
- $15,000 for Jacaranda Pre-School Caringbah to upgrade lighting and provide lighting to playground.
- $15,000 for Grays Point Pre-School for a recycled rain water play area.
- $13,409 to Kurnell Pre-School Kindergarten for outdoor blinds and painting.
