Run by Parents for Parents
We encourage and empower local families with evidence based childbirth education, new parent classes, and parenting workshops with fully qualified facilitators.
Onewa Parents Centre has been supporting families on the North Shore for over 30 years. We are a non profit organisation run by parents for parents, and our history links back to the original NZ-wide Parents Centre formed in 1952.
With classes available in Birkenhead and Whangaparaoa, we prepare expectant parents for the arrival of a new baby and parenthood. Well known for our coffee groups, our parents form strong connections and an invaluable support network through their first 12 months as new parents, and beyond.
