School Ready At No Cost

Thanks to funding support from Child Australia and the Western Australian Government, Meerilinga is proud to announce that we are able to offer a limited number of free placements for vulnerable children whose families are experiencing financial hardship.

School readiness programs are essential to helping children develop their social skills, emotional regulation and early literacy and numeracy. While we continue to deliver a lower cost per session than many services, the cost of programs is a major barrier to families wishing to enrol their child in Early Childhood Education and Care. This program will help to overcome that barrier and ensure a great start for the children in our communities, while also providing space for parents and carers to resume their career or care for other children and family members.

There can be a number of reasons why a family may face financial barriers and it is essential that support remains for them and their children. If you believe that your family may qualify for a free placement in one of our school readiness courses, please click the button below to enquire now.

Please note, we’re away for the Christmas and New Year break and will respond to your enquiry as soon as we are able to.
