Precious beginnings provided me with a great opportunity to get out of the house and meet other parents in the community. It was great discussing key topics that come up in the first few months with a newborn and being able to bounce around ideas of what had and hadn’t worked for people. It was so reassuring to chat to the facilitators and other parents and just get that real life perspective around just how tough it can be.

Precious Beginnings has helped me navigate the challenges of being a first time mum. “You don’t know what you don’t know” so having knowledgeable facilitators to enable us to connect with support networks, obtain knowledge to support our babies development, connect with other mothers and babies and also our community has been absolutely invaluable to me. I feel like I am a more confident mother equipped with the knowledge to enable more positive outcomes for my baby.

I loved attending precious beginnings because of the information and support they provided. Alex and Katrina always listened to what I was going through and helped with advice and comfort.

Fantastic programme and supportive group to be apart of. So much of great information shared. Would highly recommend to the new parents in the region.

Alex and Katrina are so welcoming and make you feel completely comfortable sharing your pregnancy/parenting journey. The support from them and other Mums that I gained was priceless as was the knowledge gained from Nikki, Jess, Franca, Lisa and other guest speakers. I feel so lucky to have been able to be apart of Precious Beginnings as am new to Wanaka and didn’t really know any other Mums in the area.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge about raising babies, thanks for providing a welcoming space and a supportive and comforting ear to all my newborn woes. I really appreciate the help you have given me, it has given me a lot of confidence in what I am doing and helped to shape the path for the parenting moments yet to come. Appreciate the resources and inspirational educators you’ve recommended to help me going forward.
