The Poor Old Henry way

Childcare and Early Learning Centre support is critically important for parents and their children. While essential, an aspect of care is that of cost. While the Federal Government is seemingly offering more financial support to parents and centres, considerable costs for materials are incurred.

We support our local centre in a way that helps with defraying some of these costs. Supporting our local centre also offers a sense of satisfaction. 

What we save and take to the centre includes the following.

• Large, clean paper bags that are split open and used for artwork.
• Plastic shopping bags in which items of clothing are sent home.
• Large bottle tops  – milk bottle size – used for craft and collage construction.
• Small and medium-sized boxes – up to shoe box side – used for construction and play.
• Old magazines for picture cutouts. 
•  Old newspaper which covers tables during art and craft construction times.

We are happy to save and share these materials and I am suggesting others might support their early learning centres in the same way.
