Centre Course

The Gisborne Parents Centre held a very successful three-week course recently. The topic for the course was “Your Child Under Five Years” and over the period a series of lectures took place emphasising both verbal and functional communication with the child. Practical sessions were also held where the parents took part in some of the creative aspects indulged in by the youngsters at kindergarten, thus enabling the parents to understand more fully the child's outlook.
