Early Years

The City had forged a partnership with Little Green Steps WA, a non-for-profit program that supports education for sustainability in the early years from 2016 to 2022.

Little Green Steps Program

Little Green Steps WA (LGSWA) worked within the City of Canning’s community networks as both a sustainability resource and education provider to support childcare centres, pre-schools, playgroups, family daycares and after school early years educators to engage in education for sustainability in their local environments.

Case studies assist Early Years Communities to refine their practices and learn from each other. The following are taking some great sustainable and shareable steps:
