Popular Prospect and Enfield Kindergym to close The Prospect and Enfield Kindergym is struggling for numbers and funding and is likely to close if it doesn't get extra members and sponsorship. Prospect resident Sarah Wynhoven with her son Evan, 3, and Karina Dolman with her children Dexter, 3, and Macy, 11 months. EVAN Wynhoven will not be able to roll and tumble his way through classes at the Prospect and Enfield Kindergym for much longer, unless it can boost its numbers. The two year old and his mum Sarah attend the Kilburn-based kindergym, which is facing closure unless it can attract more parents and toddlers to its twice-weekly sessions. The not-for-profit kindergym, which services 70 families from the inner-north, needs to sign up at least another 70 families to keep its doors open. Ms Wynhoven, of Prospect, said she would be forced to go out of the area to another kindergym if the 25-year-old service closed. "Prospect and Enfield is so affordable, close for us and Evan loves it," Ms Wynhoven said. He would be heartbroken if it closed. He's made friends there and so have all the mums who take their toddlers there too ... it may be for the kids but the mums get just as much enjoyment out of it too. Ms Wynhoven said despite grants from the State and Federal governments, it needed at least $35,000 to keep its doors open. "We just need some time to work out a sustainable plan for the kindergym and we want to be able to do that without closing," she said. We're a not-for-proft organisation and everything we do is for the kids ... they would hate it if they weren't able to come here anymore. Former vice president Karina Dolman agreed. "If we can keep it open and develop a plan that would be the best outcome for everyone," Ms Dolman said. We really need a major sponsor to come on board so that can take the pressure off and we can focus on helping and teaching. Ms Dolman said the solution was to find a way other than fundraising to pay its staff, buy new equipment and break even. The group fundraises by hosting regular barbecues at Bunnings Warehouse, holding cake stalls and raffles. The kindergym committee held a meeting on April 11 to discuss closing the service. The committee had sought outside sponsorship but had so far not been successful. The kindergym runs classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and offers a free come and try class for the first session. It includes a combination of music and play equipment to help develop children's emotional, social and physical skills. For more information visit prospectandenfieldkindergym.com.au
