Member for Yuroke Ros Spence has welcomed local kindergarten students into the new kinder year, with better educator-to-child ratios introduced this year meaning more individual attention and care for them in the year before school.
A new integrated community centre delivering child and family services will be built in Craigieburn, as part of the Andrews Labor Government’s election promise to invest $50 million in the early childhood sector.
Families in Yuroke will benefit from new grants to help establish more community playgroups and playgroup sessions as part of the Andrews Labor Government’s $50,000 Great Start Community Playgroup Fund.
Local kindergartens will be upgraded as part of the Andrews Labor Government’s promise to deliver new kindergarten infrastructure improvements.
