Our kids are precious, the challenges real. We have courses, support groups, and individual parent mentors available to help you with this very important job. Learning new strategies can help bring back the fun at home, and help your kids have a great childhood with appropriate boundaries.

Term 4 parenting courses start on Wednesday 2nd November and are open now for enrolments with limited places.

For those raising kids of all ages, we offer the following programs:

6 week parenting courses which cater for parents of children from birth to teen:
*Toolbox courses designed by the Parenting Place.
The 'Pre-school Years' (for parents of babies and toddlers) is generally run as a Wednesday morning course but for Term 4 is Wednesday evening course 7-9pm.
The 'School Years' (for parents of primary age children, tweens and teens) run as a Wednesday evening course 7-9pm.
*Game On (for Dads) on Wednesday evening course 7-9pm.

Or for Grandparents & kin carers we run a monthly support group Kin Carers which meets on the second Monday of the month 9:30-11.30 am.
