EARLY YEARS SUPPORT FOR ALL CENTRAL COAST FAMILIES
The first 1,000 days of a child's life shape how they communicate, learn, connect and grow long before school even begins. It's a remarkable window of development, and it goes fast.
We exist to make sure local families don't have to navigate it alone. Whether you're looking for connection with other parents, practical guidance about your baby's development, or specialist support for your little one, there's a place for you here.
The early years matter more often than we realise

Why we do what we do
From pregnancy to age two, a child’s brain develops faster than at any other time.
The relationships, experiences and support families receive in these early years shape wellbeing, learning and health for life.
We believe that supporting families early with connection, care and support makes a real difference.
What families can expect
Our team brings together professional experience, practical support and the understanding that comes from raising children ourselves.
Practical support, from a team who get it
Evidence-based programs that work in real life
A community that sticks around
Help us keep early support accessible for every family
The Early Development Partnership Foundation is a registered charity committed to ensuring all Central Coast families can access quality early years support - regardless of their financial circumstances or whether they know where to turn for help.
Your donation helps us run community programs, reduce financial barriers to specialist support, and show up for families who need us most.
All donations over $2 are fully tax deductible.
Early support changes lives
We believe early support should feel welcoming, accessible and connected to community. Through playgroups, classes, parenting workshops and family programs, we help create spaces where parents feel understood and children can thrive. All families are welcome, and if you have concerns about your child’s development, our professional early support team is here to help.
Every family deserves support in the early years.
Every family deserves a strong start
Join a playgroup. Come to a class. Ask a question. All families are welcome, and if you're not sure where to start, we'll help you work it out.
