- Triple P- the Positive Parenting Program, a learning resource for parents covering both the basics of raising a child and complex emotional issues from toddler tantrums to rebellious teenagers
- Information about other programs and services, including speech and language resources, community kitchens, and toy lending and resource libraries
- The ‘Ages and Stages‘ questionnaire, which helps parents gauge their child’s development at key stages in their lives
- Friendly, knowledgeable staff who can answer parenting questions and offer support on a one-to-one basis
- And most importantly: other parents and children from your community to bond with and learn from.
