THE Bayside Kindergarten and Childcare Centre at Alexandra Hills has won a $12,000 grant from the federal government’s Stronger Communities Program.
Funds were sent the centre’s way after it put forward a successful proposal to MP Andrew Laming’s Shark Tank event, a process in which community groups bid for government grants.
Mr Laming said the money would have a wide community benefit as it would be used to build a multi-purpose community room.
This project involved the installation of a roof over a room within the centre which was covered only by shade sails.
The new room will allow the centre to offer a community space for families and will be used to host information seminars on child development and professional development courses for local educators.
