Casey early parenting centre
Mr MAAS (Narre Warren South) (10:00): I was recently joined by my colleagues the member for Cranbourne and the member for Bass to officially announce the location for the new early parenting centre in Clyde North. The centre is part of the Expanding Victoria’s Early Parenting Centre Network 2019–24 strategy and will be operated by Monash Health in partnership with the Queen Elizabeth Centre. When built, the centre will provide parents and carers in surrounding areas, including in my electorate of Narre Warren South, with the additional supports they need to develop their parenting skills. The centre will deliver tailored and targeted advice that aims to enhance the parent-child relationship and provide support with sleep and settling, feeding and extra care for babies and toddlers with additional needs. The new centre will support our local families as they experience the early years of their children’s development, and I know that our parents and carers will take that knowledge and support that will benefit themselves and their children.
