Our mission statement
Supporting parents through the early years because great parents grow great children.
We are passionate about supporting parents in Dunedin. We believe parents are highly valued in their role and would benefit from positive birth experiences and informed parenting.
Dunedin Parents Centre is an independent, volunteer-led centre.
We provide cornerstone services such as:
Childbirth education (antenatal classes)
Parenting education (postnatal Baby & You classes and infant massage classes)
Parent-led playgroups
Our educators for childbirth and parenting are Dunedin-based. They provide professional classes covering pregnancy, labour, childbirth and care of a newborn, using evidence-based information, to ensure parents are well-informed and confident going into the early years of parenting. Our programmes support and educate parents with children of various ages and stages of development.
The educators are further supported by a group of dedicated volunteers who offer additional services and groups to support local parents. These volunteers know that parenting is a huge life change because many of them have been on the same journey.
Our playgroups and programmes help give parents a place to connect, being supported and understood by other parents.
We organise events such as First Aid and Starting Solids regularly throughout the year. Head over to our Postnatal page or follow us on Facebook for the latest updates.
