THE growing number of students at St Brigid's Rosewood will receive extra support with 80 million of funding.
More than 380 services have received offers of sustainability support to help them remain open, with 90 services receiving capital support to undertake important modification work or expand to create more early childhood education and care places.
"This funding will help early childhood education services in disadvantaged and vulnerable communities across Australia remain open," Dr Aly said.
"Access to early childhood education and care is vital to ensuring families can make the choice that are best for them, particularly when it comes to balancing the early learning needs of children along with being able to work more hours and boost household income."
More than 80 per cent of the funding will support services in regional or remote areas, ensuring children can access the transformational benefits of early learning no matter where they live.
Families accessing these services will also benefit from the Government's Cheaper Child Care reforms, which have made early childhood education more affordable for more than 1 million families across Australia.
The funding is being provided through the Government's Community Child Care Fund (CCCF), helping address barriers to participation in early childhood education and care.
The more than $600 million CCCF program supports around 700 services across Australia, with around 85 per cent of funding supporting services in regional and remote communities.
