The Water & Sewer Education Team has comprised a range of resources to address water conservation and sewer smart behaviour on the Central Coast.
Little Drops Early Childhood Education Program
The Water & Sewer Education Team have developed a fun and engaging program called 'Little Drops' designed especially for our youngest Central Coast residents. Through interactive songs, a story book, a science experiment, and a game, children will learn where water comes from, why it's important to use it wisely, and what should (and shouldn't) be flushed down the toilet. This engaging program helps foster lifelong water-saving habits in a way that's both educational and entertaining. Book in one of our Water Education Officers to visit your Early Childhood Centre.
Little Drops is specifically for the older children in your Early Learning Centre and Preschools, best suited to those children who are starting Primary School the following year.

Child Care Centres use significant amounts of water each day, but what amenities use the most water and where can you find them? This free activity resource will take your children on a water audit scavenger hunt, searching for water using devices throughout your centre and looking for leaks, drips and efficiency.
Summer is here which means hot summer days and smart water play. Childcare Centres play an important role in water conservation on the Central Coast. This is done by modelling Waterwise behaviours and providing water education to children. The Central Coast Council would like to assist in your effort by providing Water Education Packs to your centre. The pack includes four water books, smart water magnets and stickers, shower times for staff, a water scavenger hunt, and more.
