About

Nelson District Parents Centre encourages and empowers local families with pregnancy, childbirth education, new parent classes, parenting workshops, and community events. We have been supporting families across Nelson Tasman for nearly 50 years. We know that parenting is a huge life change because many of us have been on the same journey. Parents join our classes, coffee groups and events to feel connected, supported and understood. Whether you’re seeking to be better informed before the birth of your child or build a stronger support network, we can help. We look forward to supporting you through your parenting journey.

Antenatal education, parent and baby groups, coffee groups, second hand baby gear sales and one off workshops
