Council and community bank money extends childcare
SOUTH Gippsland Shire Council today approved a contribution of up to $12,000 worth of funding support for the continuation of childcare services in Corner Inlet.
All smiles: front, from left, Allison Drury from the Promontory District Finance Group and parents Will Pruyn, Michelle Bacon and Emmah White are very happy with the support from the PDFG and the South Gippsland Shire Council staff and councillors (pictured behind).
The funding will be partnered with a similar amount from the Promontory District Finance Group (Toora and Foster Community Banks) so that UnitingCare Gippsland can continue their service at the Prom Coast Centre for Children until April 2014. This news was welcomed by the parents who use the centre.
“It’s is just excellent,” Wil Pruyn said.
“The support council have shown through this whole time has been fantastic and we are very greatful for it.”
The Mirboo North and District Community Foundation confirmed prior to Christmas that it would meet the required deficit to ensure continuation of the child care service at St Andrews Child Care through to end April 2014.
