subject: Parent Centers Get Families Involved in Education [print this page] In New Zealand this concept has been around for years, one particular group has been in operation for sixty years. The group has six national programs going on in each of the centers. The strong focus here is educating parents in parenting their children. Here volunteers offer their time at each of the venues in order to make the program a success. Speakers are invited to speak on a broad range of topics to help parents and students. Newsletters are sent out regularly to inform people of the educational programs on offer. Parents are advised to register early in order to ensure attendance.
