Parents Centre Diverse Centres meeting the needs of local communities nationwide. Established in 1952, today Parents Centre has the largest network of parent-based education in the country. Our 50 Centres nationwide are as widespread in their geographical location as they are diverse in their approaches to meeting the needs of their local communities. We focus on achieving at a local level. Our Centres, from Whangarei to Invercargill, New Plymouth to Napier, Greymouth to Christchurch and every Centre in between, understand the unique needs of their local communities and strive to deliver to meet these needs. Over the page we profile a Centre which has become a vital part of their community. Read how, under the leadership of Charlotte Harris-Miller, Upper Hutt Centre has mobilised a hard-working team of volunteers who have now moved into their own premises which features a 24-person capacity classroom and adjacent lounge, with a baby-related book library. This is a Centre that is going from strength to strength. ,
