Congratulations must be extended to Jaye-Lea Francis and the team of hardworking volunteers and staff at the Kilcoy Kindy who have secured a full-time kindy program for 2017 with 40 children now enrolled.
They have worked extremely hard over the past several years to ensure their C&K Kindy has remained open. Their passion and determination is proof that if you keep trying, great things can be achieved.
It has been a pleasure to work alongside the families to ensure our children have access to a quality, local, early childhood education and I’m glad I was able to support them by attending community meetings, sponsorship of the parliamentary petition and representations to the Education Minister.
We must always remind our city cousins that regional communities such as ours place so much value on retaining services locally and we will always fight to retain them. This is a great success for Kilcoy and I look forward to seeing the Kindy go from strength to strength.
