A Pro-active Parenting Expo/ Pro-active Parenting Expo will be presented by therapists on 20 August 2022. It is held at Kruik and entry to the expo is free. During the free Expo, we would like to connect parents with people/support groups/ who may be able to assist them. There will be many of our local therapists available at the stalls they man and hopefully they will be able to speak to a few worried parents. We also invite the pre-school activities, Gr R classes and primary schools to come and show what contribution they make to the early development of children – a bit of a “One-stop event” for parents.
