Connect Early Childhood is a DEECD (Department of Education and Early Childhood Development) site linking to a range of websites appropriate to young children. It is a public site accessible to all users.

Connect also includes Primary, Secondary and Teacher pages, connecting each audience to great online resources. Teachers and students have suggested sites to build these resources since 2001.

Parents and Early Childhood professionals are encouraged to Suggest a site should they wish to contribute to this resource.

By clicking on the images on the Early Childhood page, children can find websites to help them read, learn, think, play and create online. The site is designed to encourage exploration.

The site is intended for use by young children with adult supervision and guidance. The environment is not ‘closed’, therefore if a child continues to click to other sites they are ‘outside’ the Connect environment. For extra protection you may wish to consider filtered internet access at home. Parental/ adult supervision is always recommended.

It is recommended that a parent or adult explores the site before introducing it to a child. It may also be helpful to explore a couple of preferred sites with the child in more detail.
