AN outdoor garden and art-based learning activities at the Gembrook Preschool Association will be funded by a $1200 grant.
The preschool is just one of 625 community non-profit organisations across Australia that will this year share in $750,000 of Telstra’s Kids Fund grants available through the Telstra Foundation.
The outdoor garden includes wind chimes, bells and Asthma Foundation-approved native plants.
Telstra country wide area general manager for Gippsland, Loretta Willaton, said the grants helped boost children’s connection to their local community.
“We are proud to be able to help local groups, such as Gembrook Preschool Association, support the skills, talents and development of children.
“The funds make a positive and lasting difference to children’s futures and make a genuine difference to local organisations supporting children.”
