 Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:51): I am delighted to speak about the Building Blocks inclusion and improvement grants, which will enable significant upgrades to kindergartens in my electorate. Labor knows the important role that kindergartens play in giving children the best start in life. Marymede Early Learning Centre in South Morang will receive $200,000 to undertake inclusive outdoor play area improvements and reduce ongoing maintenance at the site. The Mill Park Heights Child Care Centre will receive $9054 for new sensory and inclusive equipment, including adaptive play structures, sensory panels and inclusive seating arrangements. Blossom Park, Roycroft and Goodstart kindergartens will receive $1780 each for technological resources, allowing staff greater time to focus on educational outcomes.
