What the petition asks
Both myself and my husband work, my husband works full time and myself part time. We have 2 children.
I would love for my 2 year old to attend a playgroup but the cost is a big reason why he doesn’t.
15 hours funding isn’t available as he has to wait until he’s 3yrs old.

Funding should be available to working parents not just parents that do not work or who are on a low income.
