Parents have an extra week to sign up for free preschool initiative
Children’s Minister Barry Andrews said the decision was based on the difficulties the weather may cause for parents wishing to sign up for the scheme, for which all children born between February 2, 2005, and June 30, 2006, are eligible.
They will be entitled to free preschooling up to the end of June from one of around 4,000 service providers already registered with the minister’s office.
