Parents Centre has been supporting parents on the North Shore in excess of 30 years. We are a not for profit organisation that is run by parents for parents and we are affiliated to Parents Centre NZ which was formed in 1952. The main service we provide is antenatal courses for first time parents and parent education from birth to 3 years.
Parents Centres are particularly well known for their successful coffee groups once babies are born. These are formed from our antenatal course, which provide our first time parents with an invaluable support network particularly through their first 12 months as new parents.
Our 6-week Baby and You course for first time mum’s and their babies is also highly regarded with excellent feedback from our members.
