The Children's Services Centre is a one-stop-shop with information on the range of children's services provided by Warrnambool City Council. The Centre also provides information on where to access other children's services not available through Council and aims to provide education and support to families with young children in Warrnambool and the surrounding areas. Our facilitated community playgroup is an informal and relaxed playgroup for all families with children aged from 0 to preschool years to enjoy. The playgroup is run by qualified childcare workers who are there to provide incidental parenting education and support through role modelling and informal education. The playgroup provides an opportunity for children and parents to interact in a positive manner. It assists in enhancing parenting skills whilst giving parents the confidence to socialise with others. The Parenting Support Service provides general parenting education and information in person or over the phone to parents/carers of children aged 0-5 yrs. The service identifies ongoing support needs and refers families to the appropriate agency/department/program.
