The union representing teachers and educators in early childhood education and care in NSW welcomes the NSW government’s announcement today of a new funding model for not-for-profit community preschools that will come into effect in 2027.
The new scheme includes:
- pay increases for early childhood staff
- full funding of the operating costs of not-for-profit preschools (conditional on meeting strict quality standards)
- new funding to expand access for three-year-old children
- increased funding to support children in priority cohorts, including a major reform to the Disability Inclusion Program.
