THE popular Dr Harry Little Preschool in View Street has received a Building Blocks Planning Grant from the Victorian Government of $128,697 to work towards the future redevelopment of its heritage-listed building.<\/p>\n

The funding will cover the cost of the architect’s designs, soil and engineering reports and environmental site investigations.<\/p>\n

Preschool committee of management member Laura Wettenhall said the group is always searching for how it can improve the site to accommodate and be inclusive of all students.<\/p>\n

“We’ve been looking at grants and funding to see how we can accommodate the increasing demand,” she said.<\/p>\n

“We’d like to have an additional classroom so we can accommodate our three-year-old groups.<\/p>\n

“Because of the heritage listing I don’t know the cost at the moment. That’s what the plan (funding) will identify.”<\/p>\n

Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards congratulated the school for securing the money.<\/p>\n

“It’s been a pleasure to work with the preschool’s committee to understand their needs and ensure that we can accurately deliver a potential future expansion,” she said.<\/p>\n

“They’ve done an amazing job over the years to bring this kindergarten up to a great standard.”<\/p>\n

The State Government has allocated billions of dollars to build and expand hundreds of kindergartens across the state in order to deliver 15 hours of three-year-old kindergarten each week by 2029 and up to 30 hours of pre-prep each week by 2036.<\/p>\n
