Ms Mitchell was accompanying MP Thomas George and Nationals candidate Austin Curtin on a visit to Tenterfield, and she was keen to get some feedback on the program.
The centre was deemed eligible for $11,000 in funding, which it decided to allocate to fee reduction. Every family using the centre needed to pay only $10 per child for the entire term. A term generally costs around $300.
