About Family Zone

Lutheran Care’s Family Zone is a child and parenting centre based at Ingle Farm Primary School. The centre brings together a range of support programs for families.

Programs are designed to facilitate the physical, emotional, social and cognitive development of children aged zero to 12 in a familiar environment. Parents also feel at home, as they meet with others who are going through similar experiences.
