Within Cape Breton County, Family Place offers parents, caregivers, and children an opportunity to come together and share the joys and challenges of parenting.  We also offer support services to families during the prenatal period.  Services continue to be offered to parents and caregivers with children birth to 18 years.  One of the goals of the organization is to ensure that our programs and services are as accessible as possible.  We do this by offering programs throughout many of the communities within Cape Breton County.  As well, we work within our budgets to provide whatever support we can to help with child care and transportation costs.  All Family Place programs are offered free of charge.

Some of the services and programs include prenatal programs, breastfeeding information and support, Baby Talk/Wee Ones, a whole variety of different parent education programs including a support group for fathers, Play Groups, Read with Me, Tumble Bugs, Music and Movement and home visiting programs for our littlest ones (Enhanced Home Visiting) and our older children and their families (Parenting Journey Home Visiting).

During the course of the year we offer programs in many communities such as Florence, Gardiner Mines, Glace Bay, Louisbourg, Marion Bridge, New Victoria, New Waterford, North Sydney, Reserve Mines, Sydney, Sydney Mines, Westmount, and Whitney Pier.
