How it all started

The Parent Centre was established 40 years ago as a project of the Cape Town Child Welfare Society. The Centre was started as a primary prevention project to reduce the incidence of child abuse through the promotion of positive parenting and effective child management practices that would enhance the well-being and self-esteem of parents and children.

The project grew into a branch of the Cape Town Child Welfare Society. In 1997, it became an independent, registered non-profit organisation (NPO). For the last 40 years, The Parent Centre has been promoting positive parenting through different programmes and workshops. We collaborate with like-minded individuals and organisations to help parents raise resilient and well-balanced children.
