YMCA Early Learning Centres to receive $800,000 grant for enhancements

YMCA Early Learning Centres are set to welcome nearly $800,000 through the Building Blocks Grant from the Victorian Government.

The funding will help enhance indoor and outdoor play and learning spaces for children. From shade sails over playgrounds to new technology the improvements will give young children more opportunities to grow and learn.

The upgrades will start in the coming months. Our teams will keep families informed of any changes or adjustments ahead of time. Children will also be part of this process and see the exciting works underway in their centre.

Y Victoria CEO Carolyn Morris thanked the Victorian Government for the funding.

 

Creating welcoming indoor and outdoor spaces is our priority at the Y. Children benefit from outdoor play in all seasons which is why shade sails and play spaces need to be accessible to all. Our heartfelt thanks to the Victorian Government for funding these important works and recognising the importance of our early learning centres.
