Baby and You class is BACK!
This course is designed to help you settle into parenthood and flows on from your childbirth education (antenatal) class. It is a series of four morning sessions (10am-12pm) that cover a variety of topics.

We are looking for Volunteers
Please consider volunteering some of your time to WSPC as an Antenatal Briefer. As you know, Parents Centre is an organization entirely run by volunteers. We depend on our members to continue providing quality childbirth and parent education services. At this very moment we have two Briefer positions to fill - these two fine people do the briefing of our volunteers prior to the class.
