Education Fair 2025

The Sunshine Coast Education Fair 2025 – Brought to by Kids On the Coast
Choosing a school, kindergarten, or anything related to kids can be overwhelming. Mix that with keeping the little ones entertained while you visit them all is enough to tip the calmest of parents over the edge.
So, we created an event where all the options could come together—under one roof. Families could explore the many options and get a genuine feel for programs through demonstrations and face-to-face conversations. Kids can try out various activities through workshops, hands-on demonstrations, and come-and-try sessions. All in a family-friendly, supportive space where tantrums happen, coffee flows, and there’s zero judgment.
Created by parents for parents, it is the best way to try out the many learning pathways for kids, with kids. All in a fun-filled day!
Entry is FREE!
