A long-term plan to secure and expand early childhood education options in Finley is finally in place.

Just in time for the start of a new school year, Biralee Preschool has announced an exciting local partnership with Finley Regional Care.

Families will see no change as a result of the new partnership, until it comes to future expansion plans.

The day-to-day operations of the education service will remain unchanged when classes resume on February 2.

But there are plans afoot to build a new, fit-for-purpose education centre within the next few years.
