The Office for Early Childhood Development has created the free Early Years SA app to support parents and carers of children from birth to 5 years of age. The app provides trusted, age-appropriate information and practical guidance to support children’s development, health, learning and wellbeing. It includes developmental milestones, activities, growth tracking, appointment and reminder information, parenting advice and links to early childhood services and supports.
The app is intended to help families find reliable information, understand and respond to their child’s development, keep track of important health and development checks, and connect with appropriate services and support when needed.
