Teaching and Learning Resources Grant

The Teaching and Learning Resources Grant was introduced in 2013 to help eligible childcare centres and kindergartens defray the cost of purchase and renewal of good quality resources to support teaching and learning activities. It supports childcare centres and kindergartens in setting up well-resourced, purposeful and stimulating learning environments that are equipped with developmentally appropriate materials and objects.

With effect from March 2020, ECDA will enhance the grant amount so that supported centres may receive $5,000 per year to offset the cost of purchase of eligible resources.
