This purpose-built online platform provides a way to quickly and simply connect with both other Kiwi parents, as well as the family-oriented services and child-friendly events around you.

We hope Parent Village can help you to find a deeper sense of belonging within your community, and perhaps even enable you to develop your very own parenting village, in this challenging, and rewarding time of raising your family.

Because, it takes a village to raise a child.
