City of Yarra
Yarra City Council understand that being a parent or caregiver can be challenging as well as rewarding.
You want to do the best for your child in a world that often looks very different from the one you grew up in.
That's why we offer a range of sessions for families to provide helpful information and practical tools on a range of subjects to support our local community.
These sessions will be available both online and Face 2 Face.
