Construction starts on Northcote Early Parenting Centre

Main construction has started on a multi-million-dollar Early Parenting Centre at 30 Green Street, Northcote.

Early Parenting Centres support parents or carers with children up to four years old. They help build parenting skills and confidence by providing help with:

• sleep and settling
• parent-child bonding and attachment
• child behaviour and development
• strengthening parenting capacity
• building community connections.

The single-level Early Parenting Centre will feature 10 overnight family units. These spaces have been carefully and thoughtfully designed to accommodate various family arrangements.

The Northcote Early Parenting Centre will also feature shared kitchen and dining areas, a multi-purpose room, consulting rooms, playroom, outdoor spaces and onsite carparking.

The centre will be managed by the Tweddle Child and Family Health Service. Tweddle Child and Family Health Service has provided essential support for babies, toddlers, and families across Victoria for more than 100 years.

Builder appointed

Builder SJ Higgins has been appointed to construct the Northcote Early Parenting Centre.

Thanks for dropping-in

Before construction began, we welcomed the community to a drop-in information session at the future site of the centre. It was a great opportunity to connect with local residents, share the designs, answer questions, and introduce the builder and the Tweddle Child and Family Health Service team who will help bring the centre to life and support families once it opens.
