The Heights Kindergarten
Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (10:20): I am pleased to speak about my recent visit to The Heights Kindergarten on Morang Drive in Mill Park. It was lovely to read Muddypaws with the four-year-old kinder group and receive a wonderful drawing from Chelsea, which now sits on the fridge in my electorate office. Jenny and her team are doing fantastic work and now will be able to do even more with the $6000 bush kinder grant they received under the Allan Labor government’s bush kinder program. Bush kinder programs are delivered outdoors at places including parks, bushland and beaches, giving children a unique opportunity and freedom to learn through play in the outdoors. While we do not have any beaches near Mill Park, we certainly have many reserves and the beautiful Plenty Gorge, and it will be a wonderful way to get kinder kids into nature. Jenny and her team have some exciting ideas for the program, and I am excited to see it get up and running very soon.
