The âNot for Profitâ Preschools in the Great Lakes Electorate are very appreciative of Tanya Thompson MP for her time and support to hear our concerns and our campaign â âStart Strong Pay Fairâ. This campaign advocates for fair pay and recognition for dedicated Teachers and Educators at community preschools.
Wingham Preschool, Flying Fox Mobile Preschool, Old Bar Community Preschool, Taree and District Preschool, Girrawong Preschool and Bulahdelah Preschool all met with Tanya Thompson today to express concerns that teachers and educators working in long day care services are paid at least 15% above us working in community preschools.
Community Preschool teachers have the same qualifications as teachers in schools but are paid up too 30% less. These pay gaps make it increasingly difficult for preschools to attract and retain passionate and qualified staff.
Bulahdelah Preschool will be closing the service on Wednesday 15th October so educators can attend the âDay of Actionâ rally at Martin Place, Sydney. We are fortunate to have our committee who appreciate our teams dedication and professionalism each and every day to support the campaign for Start Strong, Pay Fair.
