Infant family guidance in playgrounds

We organise activities in playgrounds and family houses for first-time parents. The meetings allow you to discuss matters related to parenthood and everyday family life with a baby with an instructor and other parents.

The three topics are:

- Being with the baby: what is early interaction?

- Coping with everyday life: being a parent

- The baby's daily routine

You are free to choose between the topics and participate in the activities in the order and location of your choice. The meetings are led by trained playground instructors and social instructors. The meetings last 90 minutes each.

Use the link below for the schedule of the activities for families with a baby and playground contact info. You can register directly with the playground.

Participation in the activities is voluntary and free of charge.
