Little Green Steps 
The Little Green Steps program is continuing to promote
sustainability among Central Coast preschools and early
childhood centres.
Background
Little Green Steps is
coordinated by the Gosford and Wyong councils using
grants provided under the program known as “Our
Environment It’s A Living Thing”.
The program started in 2004 with these aims:
- Providing
local services with resource kits on the topics
of waste, water, wildlife, energy and
stormwater.
- Providing in-service training to early
childhood educators through professional development
workshops.
- Producing a bi-monthly newsletter providing
centres with up-to-date information on a range
of topics relating to sustainability and environmental
education
- Providing on-going support to centres
in relation to sustainability education activities.
