Programs are directed at parents/caregivers and include:
- Free monthly information sessions with a focus on early childhood development, parenting and relationship skills
- Weekly Playtime programs that encourage age-appropriate social, emotional, developmental and educational experiences
- Distribution of regular information updates on parenting topics ranging from a synopsis of the latest research to local parenting services and activities
- Assistance to connect with other services as appropriate.
