If you’ve ever done school drop-off on a hot day, you’ve probably thought about the classrooms our kids sit in all afternoon.

Or wondered how schools and childcare centres cope as power bills keep rising?

That’s why more communities are looking to solar and batteries, helping schools and childcare centres:

  • cut energy bills
  • keep classrooms cooler during heatwaves
  • stay powered during outages

Time and time again, educators, energy experts, and community leaders tell us the same thing: solar and batteries for schools and childcare is a no-brainer.

On April 1, Parents for Climate will hold our first ever event at Parliament House in Canberra, sharing stories from communities already making it happen. Members of Parliament and Senators from across Australia are invited - and adding your name helps show them that families in their electorate want solar and batteries, which could encourage them to attend.

Totally agree. Unfortunately under our current system they are unlikely to close commercial child care centres. They were supposed to better regulate them. I hope parents are making sure their MPs don't forget and also keep advocating for more support for community-run ones.
