We are here in support of a fellow Community Kindergarten - the beautiful Nambour Community Preschool and Kindergarten.
Sadly this service was impacted by a flooding disaster and has been unable to return to operate on their grounds.
We implore the State Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek to listen to the community and recognise the importance of supporting Community Managed and Owned, Not for profit service that has been in our local community for 70 years.
To anyone who has known the special experience of being part of a Community Kindergarten, please consider signing this petition 🙏🏽
We are appealing to the Minister of Education and the Arts, John-Paul Langbroek MP to support that a not-for profit community kindergarten impacted by a natural disaster should be afforded the opportunity to move into a community supported underutilised government building at Nambour State College (a plan the school community and administration also support) to afford the time to connect with experts to re-build our community centre to continue to support families in Nambour. There is precedence in the Brisbane suburb of Craigslea.
To be told the reason we are denied the option is because the loss of our centre would have little impact due to the number of child care centres already in our community. Ignoring the fact that our centre that is owned by this community that has consistently demonstrated exceeding the National Quality Standards and been a part of this community for 75 years over assumptions is not acceptable. The community of Nambour deserves better than this. We need your help to partner with us in making sure that choice for families continues to be available now and in the future.
