What is SPACE?

The SPACE programme is mainly for first time parents with newborn babies. Sessions run weekly at a Playcentre or suitable community venue for 3-4 terms, extending through the first year of the child's life.

The sessions are held in a relaxed and baby friendly environment, and include:

1. Opportunities for parents to meet and get to know one another.
2. Discussions and information sharing on relevant child development and parenting topics.
3. An introduction to rhymes, music, and books for infants.
4. Play sessions with age-appropriate equipment that supports infants' learning and development.

SPACE provides a quality curriculum in order that the parent may maximise on this valuable time with their child.
