How will the funds be used?

The programs are open to children of a wide range of cultural, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds. Staff work hard to ensure
all children are offered opportunities to develop the social, communication and language skills that lay the essential
foundations for later learning.

Funds will be used to purchase much needed items from the kindergarten's "wish list", including:

• Three sided easels
• Desk-top easels
• Outdoor block trolleys
• Wooden home - play furniture
• Display Cabinet - children's work
• Frames for childrens' paintings
