The Building Early Learning Places program (the program) aims to increase the accessibility and affordability of quality Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) by supporting eligible not-for-profit community preschools or long-day care services intending to deliver places for 0 to 6 year old children for priority groups as identified in the Program Guidelines. Only applicants intending to deliver places for priority groups as outlined in the Program Guidelines are eligible to apply.
The program will prioritise shovel-ready capital works projects, and applicants must demonstrate that they can commence the build within 12 months of receiving a successful outcome letter.
