Twelve new preschools will open across the Hunter

 BY JACK SEYMOUR

Twelve new preschools are set to open across the Hunter as part of a new $769 million investment from the NSW Government.

Cessnock, Ellalong, Kearsley, Nulkaba, Maryland, Kurri Kurri, Weston, Booragul, Teralba, Tenambit and Shortland are among 100 new preschools set to open across NSW by 2027.

Maitland MP Jenny Aitchison says the project is a welcome investment.

"We have two coming to Maitland and one at Gillieston which will be rebuilt, and be a community based public preschool giving kids a much better transition into school."
