Grants for New South Wales preschools

Preschools in New South Wales can apply for grants of up to $15,000 to enhance their learning environments.

The grants are available through the New South Wales Department of Education’s Quality Learning Environments program.

In announcing the grants, New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian said everything needs to be done to ensure children attending preschools have the most modern and stimulating learning environments.

“This investment could cover items like shade cloths so children can play safely while enjoying the outdoors, a kitchen garden to teach children about where their food comes from, or an outdoor jungle gym which encourages a child’s hand-eye coordination,” Ms Berejiklian said.

Applications for the Quality Learning Environments program close on 30 March.

To find out more about the grants, go to the New South Wales Department of Education’s website.
