Every child deserves two years of funded preschool.

Early childhood education with a qualified preschool teacher sets up children for a life of learning. But federal funding for preschool runs out at the end of 2020.

Without Commonwealth funding, universal access to 15 hours of preschool is not guaranteed.

We’re calling on the federal government to commit to its share of permanent funding for early childhood education.
