As a family resource program we invite parents/grandparents with children 0 - 5 years old to enjoy our active playroom, participate in parent education programs and share the joys and challenges of parenting. Becoming a parent is a life altering event and many families lack the support and wisdom of grandparents and experienced friends. Here they are supported by early childhood education (ECE) certified staff and family support workers. The first six years of life form the crucial foundation for all the years to follow. We help parents be the best they can be to ensure their children have a good start in life.
