Our team

Our wide range of programmes and services throughout the country are supported by offices in Auckland, Tauranga and Christchurch.

The most important people at Parenting Place are our volunteers and partners in communities all over New Zealand who organise events, facilitate and host our parenting courses and give generously to our work for New Zealand whānau.
