WHO WE ARE About Onewa parents centre
Leading provider of Antenatal Classes on Auckland’s North Shore.
Onewa Parents Centre encourages and empowers local families with evidence-based childbirth education (antenatal classes), new parent classes, parenting workshops, and community events, with fully qualified facilitators. We are one of 48 centres within the wider Parents Centre Aotearoa network and support parents in Birkenhead, Beach Haven, Birkdale, Glenfield, Bayview, Northcote, Hillcrest, Milford, Takapuna and Devonport.
Members enjoy a range of benefits including meeting other local parents, being part of our successful coffee groups, partner discounts and access to news and resources.
We hold all of our childbirth classes and parenting workshops in our rooms at the Rawene Centre in Birkenhead. Check out Classes to find out more info including dates, times, and class content.
