Early Childhood Education and Childcare


 

Funding System

Our position is that a planned funding system is needed to deliver the best outcomes for children.  This includes payment of funding to families to choose to use childcare or not, and giving all children from 3 years the right to a FREE PUBLIC early education of 3 - 4 hours.
