EarlyON Child & Family Centre

EarlyON Child and Family Centres offer free, high-quality programs for families and children from birth to 6 years old. You can learn and play with your child, meet people, and get advice from early childhood professionals. Our centres are located throughout North and Centre Wellington. They are run by qualified Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs) who aim to provide families support, advice, and other resources.

During our earliest years of life, the brain develops at a phenomenal rate. This process is not just genetic – it’s influenced by our early experiences with others and our surroundings! Due to this, we hold childhood in deep regard. We believe parents and caregivers are children’s first teachers who influence positive experiences and outcomes for their children, families, and communities. 

Our regular drop-in programs allow parents to:

  • Join fun activities such as reading, storytelling, sing-alongs, and games
  • Get advice from professionals trained in early childhood development
  • Find out about other family services in their community
  • Connect with their child as well as with other young families
