Hunter MP Joel Fitzgibbon visited the community-based centre to congratulate its team on the funding boost and to see the new space being enjoyed by the children and staff.

The upgrade included the installation of a modern kitchen as well as timber-look vinyl flooring, which has transformed the pre-school's craft space.

"The new kitchen and craft area is a vibrant area where the children are very active and creative," Mr Fitzgibbon said.

"I thank Muswellbrook Pre-School's staff for continually identifying ways to improve the children's learning environment."

Round four of the Stronger Communities Program provided a total of $147,461 to 15 organisations in the Hunter electorate.
