This program has been designed for children who will be moving from our Family Resource Program into kindergarten. Building on the trusting relationship they already have with staff in the playroom, each child can move with increasing confidence to practice the skills they need to succeed in school, as well as becoming familiar with basic pre-literacy concepts in a small group setting, and learning to work cooperatively with others while experiencing learning as fun.

Nobody's Perfect Parenting Program is voluntary and free of charge and is offered to parents during the critical early years of childhood, from birth to age five. Our Nobody’s Perfect Program is designed to be responsive to the needs of parents. The program is preventative and aims to build strong relationships between parent and child.

Typically co-facilitated by two trained facilitators, the two hour sessions are held on Friday mornings over a period of six to eight weeks. Childcare, refreshments and resource materials are provided.

  • An increase of self-help and mutual support between the participating parents

  • Improved confidence and self-image
