Years
Welcome to Early Years with Sunshine Coast School District 46.
Families with children aged birth to five have a number of programs that they can participate in free of charge. School District 46 – Sunshine Coast is dedicated to building a ‘continuum of support’ that fosters nurturing, responsive relationships between young children and their families, their communities and their schools so that children and families will thrive and develop an early and lifelong zest for learning.
To see our poster outlining programs and services, click here ‘Continuum of Connection: Paddling Together as an Early Years Community’. Also, click here to view our Early Years Growth Plan 24-25.
All Sunshine Coast School District 46 Early Years Programs are offered to ALL families on the Sunshine Coast with children under school age at NO COST to families.
