Babies learn from birth, and the skills they learn in the earliest years are the foundation for them thriving in school and in life. But they don't come with manuals and parents often have questions that go unanswered. The Preparing for Life Home Visiting Programme aims to support parents so they can nurture the child, ensuring the child, the family and the community thrives.
Preparing for Life has operated in Darndale, Kilmore, Priorswood and surrounding areas since 2007. It has been researched and proven to deliver significant, long-lasting outcomes for parents and children.
As new parents, the ability to ask questions, express doubts, have open and honest discussions and get advice about different matters was invaluable. Nothing was ever too much and our sessions were very interactive, going with the flow and talking about real life and our son's growth and development instead of going by the book about what 'had' to be discussed. It was always non judgemental. A real bond formed these last 5 years and we cannot believe this is the last milestone - the journey has been fantastic. We have recommended the service to one and all and as we move on to a new chapter, we hope to make way for another family to benefit from this wonderful service. We wholeheartedly thank Caroline, Melanie, Linda, Shannon and all the team at PFL and wish them the very best ahead with the fantastic work that they do!
