Kinder boost for Casey

SEVERAL kindergartens across Casey will receive funds to help better their services.
As part of the Baillieu Government’s $8.2million kindergarten funding package, many kindergartens will be provided with a $2500 flexibility grant for new information technology, equipment or other resources, Parliamentary Secretary for Education Inga Peulich said.
“These grants are tailored to ensure kindergartens have the flexibility to spend the dollars in the areas most relevant to their needs,” Ms Peulich said.
“For some kind-ergartens that may be on play equipment, for others that may be on improving reading resources or information technology capabilities.
“Early childhood education is a crucial part of every child’s development, and I am happy that young children in Casey will be better served due to this funding,” she said.
