Helping you and your child connect with local activities and services. On this page you will find a range of services, programs, and information that is relevant for children that are aged 5 years and under, their parents, and their caregivers.
Early Years refers to pregnancy through to the age of five. Brain development is significant during these first years, and the child's environment during this period shapes the child for a lifetime. Bearing this in mind, the Kwinana Early Years Strategy 2026-2029 sets a bold vision for the children in our community:
All children aged zero to five and their families thrive in a connected and caring community and have access to high-quality supports.
You can find two versions of the Kwinana Early Years Strategy 2026-2029 on our website:
