Workshops for Parents of Children Aged 0-5

Join us at Ripple Primary School for a fun and informative series of workshops designed to support you in your parenting journey and your child’s early development!

These in-person sessions are open to all parents and carers of children aged 0–5. While everyone is welcome, we especially encourage migrant parents, families with dual or multiple heritages, asylum seekers, refugees, and anyone navigating life across more than one culture to attend.

Throughout the workshops, we will explore a range of important topics, including:

• Attachment and emotional development
• Raising children in multicultural families
• Language and communication
• Building healthy routines
• And much more
  

Whether you are a first-time parent or have a growing family, these sessions will provide valuable insights, practical tools, and a supportive space to learn and connect.

If English is not your preferred language, please let us know—we can arrange interpretation support.

Come along to meet other parents, share experiences, and learn from experienced facilitators in a relaxed and friendly environment. We look forward to welcoming you!
