The announcement of a wage rise for early education workers has been welcomed by Hay Children’s Services.

Hay Children’s Services General Manager Emily Perkins said the announcement is a positive one.

“Our service welcomes the announcement by the government regarding the wage increase,” Ms Perkins said.

“We think it is great recognition of the impact early education has on future Australian populations.”

Don Deluca is at it again, quietly enriching the lives of many. This time, HCS Preschool was of benefit of his many talents.

Don created a wonderful fence for the Hay Children’s Services (HCS) Preschool Garden, and it is not just any old fence.

Made of corrugated iron, with a ‘web’ towards the top of the fence, carefully constructed insects, a spider mosquito and a fly, live on the web.

On Friday night Hay Children’s Services were announced Hay’s inaugural Business of the Year from some strong competition.
