The Albanese government has pledged two major changes to early childhood education and care in the run up to next year’s federal election.
Labor plans to introduce a “3 day guarantee” (three days a week) of early childhood education and care to all children before they start school. And it will fund the building of 160 centres in regions were services are hard to find.
The new centres will be part of a A$1.03 billion investment over four years. The government is proposing these will be non-profit and ideally built on, or close to, school sites.
