About Us

Wellington North Parents Centre Inc is one of parents centres throughout New Zealand.   We are a voluntary organisation for parents and parents-to-be, run by parents.

We provide Childbirth Education Classes (antenatal classes), Parent & Child Education courses for Parents in the Wellington North area (Churton Park to Makara: including Thorndon, Wadestown and Northland).

We do not support or promote any one model of birth or parenting practice.  Rather, through a variety of education and information programmes we inform parent/caregivers and parents-to-be the choices available to them.

Wherever possible we ask qualified professionals to present our education programmes.

WNPC is affiliated to Parents Centre New Zealand Inc, which is a non-profit organisation. PCNZ lobbies for the rights of parents and children at a national level.

What the Parents Centre Symbol Means:
  • the parents caring for and supporting each other and protecting and nurturing the child
  • the ideal of breastfeeding
