Parenting Programs

Free parenting programs and courses

Parenting programs can build your parenting skills, deepen your knowledge of child development and strengthen family relationships.

Gateway's parenting programs offer a safe and supportive environment where you can share and learn new skills. Parenting programs help you gain confidence, feel less isolated and find solutions to parenting challenges.

Our programs are run by trained facilitators, who provide information, create discussion and teach new skills. They provide a positive, practical approach that builds on strengths within yourself and your relationships.  

Our parenting programs are offered FREE to residents of the Penrith and Blue Mountains LGAs.
