Construction works are continuing at the site of the Wentworth Long Day Care Centre and Preschool in Murray Street, Wentworth.
The project is a major revamp of the existing Preschool which will further expand its services to meet the community's needs, accommodating a new entrance and foyer, office, two daycare rooms, staff room and amenities.
Windows and plasterboard have been installed, with the brickwork nearing completion in preparation for rendering.
"To see the building finally coming together is a realisation of a significant amount of hard work across the local community," Wentworth Preschool staff and the Wentworth Preschool and Long Day Care committees said in a joint statement.
"From those early committee members lobbying to get the idea for the centre going to the period now of transitioning to operations the combined effort of all involved has been significant. The benefit the centre will have not only for the younger children and their parents of Wentworth and District, but also the added structural support for the great team already operating the preschool is incredibly exciting"
Wentworth Shire Council Mayor Tim Elstone toured the facility last week to inspect the progress and was looking forward to its expected impact on the local community.
"When this centre is completed it will provide great benefit to parents who have had to take their children out of town for care while they work," Mayor Elstone said.
The extension of the existing Wentworth Preschool site is anticipated to be finished in September and is being conducted by CPM Building Contractors, with funding from the Australian Government's Building Better Regions Fund, the NSW Government's Stronger Country Communities Fund, Wentworth and District Bendigo Bank and major contributions from the Wentworth Shire Council, David and Liz Dawes, Bob Jolley and the Wentworth community.
