Parents encouraged to take ‘we time’

More than 40 Goodstart Early Learning Centres in Western Australia took part in a ‘Date Night’ on August 24 and 25, to encourage parents to take some time out together.

Goodstart introduced this initiative after listening to parents who felt they had lost their ‘we time’ after having children. The idea is for parents to spend a couple of hours together to focus on maintaining a strong relationship.

Goodstart Kingsley Centre Director, Danika Dixon, said parents often didn’t have time to do anything but work and look after their children.

‘Our Date Nights will give couples the chance to spend quality time together and enjoy a night out or even just to get their groceries done,’ she said.
