‘We all know that early childhood education makes more difference to children’s life chances than anything else. The kids at Globe Wilkins are literally receiving the best start to their education of any group of children across Australia.’
Inner West Mayor Darcy Byrne, 5 March 2018
Unfortunately, this incredible preschool faces an uncertain future. The lease on the grounds where it has resided for 20 years expires at the end of 2019 and the preschool has been informed by the Department of Education that there is no intention to renew it.
We believe the closure of Globe Wilkins Preschool would be a devastating loss to our community as research shows that quality early childhood education not only gives children the best start at school but sets them up for the rest of their lives.
What does Globe’s closure mean for our community?
Globe has the highest number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children enrolled across all Council Early Learning Centres.
Globe also has the highest number of children enrolled who experience a disability, across all Council centres. Educators at Globe strive and advocate for practices that achieve the goal of true inclusion of children who experience a disability.
Globe strives to create a fairer and more equitable playing field for everyone in the community, in particular those who experience a disability, the disadvantaged and Indigenous children.
Closing Globe also means fewer childcare spaces and longer waiting lists for Inner West families – of the present and future – despite an ever-growing demand for early childcare services in the area.
Please act now by signing the petition https://www.change.org/o/2985557 to save our exceptional local preschool and ensure that future generations have access to the best possible start in life.
Monetary donations are accepted for our awareness campaign and our Spring Picnic community event. No amount is too small to give.
The Save Globe Wilkins Preschool Action Group thank you for your kind support.
