📣To our current families, past families, friends and the wider Alstonville community, we need your support:
•You know our preschool
•You know the dedication of our educators and teachers
•You know the relationships, care and quality education we provide here.

Are you aware of what is happening for NSW community preschools?
A new funding model is proposed for January 2027 that, if implemented, will vastly change the type of service Alstonville Community Preschool can continue to provide to this community. Our preschool has earned the trust of generations of Alstonville families through its commitment to quality early childhood education, above ratio staffing and has been part of the lives of local children and families.

We need your help…
If you have had a child or grandchild attend Alstonville Community Preschool, there are some things you can help with.

1. Write to
-Prue Carr, the Minister for Education and Early Learning
-Chris Minns ( NSW Premier) and
-Tamara Smith MP to demand fair funding for 2027 that ensures the future of community based preschools.

2. Complete the online petition, we need 20,000 signatures across the State to trigger a Parliamentary debate on this issue and save over 700 NSW community preschools.
https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/parliamentary-business/petitions/sign-epetition?epetitionId=905&ref=10902

It is essential right now that our voices are heard.
Please help us make sure those making these decisions understand what is at stake
• SHARE this post to help others understand the impact these funding changes will have on community preschools
• TELL YOUR STORY, if our preschool has made a difference to your child or family, please share why high-quality preschools matter to you.
• CONTACT THE DECISION MAKERS. Ask for an explanation of these substantial funding reductions, how existing quality services can be protected and what the NSW government intends to do to ensure their long-term sustainability.
• STAND WITH OUR EDUCATORS – they are the heart of our preschool, and their work deserves to be valued, supported and protected.

THE NSW GOVERNMENT MUST RECONSIDER THE IMPACT OF THESE FUNDING DECISIONS NOW
