Description

Parents Centre Aotearoa is a national organisation that supports parents with antenatal and parenting classes.

For more than 70 years we have been providing evidence-based information for parents, so they can make the best decisions for them and their whānau during pregnancy and the early years. We also connect parents with other parents in their area to build fantastic networks of support and community.

 

Our classes are delivered by professional and experienced educators who are committed to providing the information and support people need to become confident parents, right from the beginning of your parenting journey.

Established in 1952 to advocate for improved conditions and opportunities for parents before and during childbirth, Parents Centre Aotearoa today is the largest provider of childbirth education in New Zealand.
