Space at WBOP Playcentres

It's no secret that being a new parent can come with a lot of happiness & a fair share of challenges!
Adjusting to your new life, new routine (or lack of it...) & new baby can be a daunting task that is sure to raise many questions.

At Space you and your baby will connect with other new parents & their babies as you explore parenting & children's development in a safe, facilitated environment. Your Space group will meet weekly, giving you & your baby the chance to make real connections during your baby's first year.

You & your baby will explore music & movement, rhymes, books & a variety of play experiences. You will discover ways to support & extend your baby's learning & development, including ideas & opportunities for play experiences at home.

You will get to consider different parenting perspectives, perhaps find out some new information, & have some great, facilitated discussions as you discover ways that work for you & your baby.

Our qualified facilitators along with other professionals share their collective knowledge and experience with the group. Furthermore, we encourage parents to use the Space programme as a forum to share their own parenting experiences.

Sessions are well resourced and are held at a local Playcentre. Our current venues are: Otumoetai, Mount, Papamoa, Welcome Bay, Tauriko, Greenpark, Te Puke and Omokoroa.
