Through the South Randwick Community Hub Partnership, JNC Family Programs is excited to offer a range of practical and useful FREE parenting programs in the local area. All parents and carers are welcome. If you’re a Dad, Grandad or in male parenting role make sure you check out Baby Shed which starts Saturday 11th July!!

So what types of courses can you attend? Here is a condensed list to give you an idea:

BABY SHED^: a hands on workshop for dads, grandparents and men who care for babies. It runs for 2 hours on a Saturday morning for three weeks and will assist men with practical information including feeding, sleeping and settling, infant communication and play as well as the challenges of being in a father role.

LANGUAGE & DEVELOPMENT* – Bilingualism. Are you wondering whether to raise your child bilingual? Come join us and hear Speech Pathologists talk about the benefits of raising a bilingual child. You will also learn about various strategies to support your child’s bilingualism.

FIRST AID & CPR FOR PARENTS* – a one-off information session that will involve a discussion and demonstration of Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and handling choking, drowning, accidental ingestions, sunburn, burns, scalds, bites and stings.
