About Prenatal and Postnatal Support


The Petawawa Military Family Resource Centre (in partnership with EarlyON) offers Prenatal & Postnatal Support for prenatal and postnatal families up to 12 months of age. We offer quality and educational programming both virtually via our closed Facebook group as well as in person with our new Lunch & Learn sessions. We also offer development workshops such as Baby Connections and Baby Food Making.  

Support is available to Military members, their families and the extended community in a welcoming, informal, safe environment. Expecting and new parents will receive encouragement, resources and experiential learning opportunities throughout the gestational term/pregnancy, up to babies first year (infancy to 12 months). There is no cost to participate.
