The Mairie de Monaco’s long-running ‘Espaces Parents’ initiative is continuing its series of interactive sessions this autumn, offering local parents and expectant parents a chance to engage with childcare professionals on a wide range of themes.
Organised by the Service Petite Enfance and Familles, the programme is designed to support family life in the Principality through relaxed but informative gatherings led by experts including psychologists, nurses, dietitians and child development specialists.
A new addition to the schedule this year is the participation of a professional family mediator, who will bring fresh tools and guidance to help strengthen communication and emotional bonds within the home.
Running throughout November and December, this latest round of events includes themed conversations around breastfeeding, children’s exposure to screens, non-violent communication, dummies, eating habits, and navigating those first days at crèche. The sessions are open to all Monaco residents or nationals and aim to create a space where everyday parenting challenges can be discussed openly, without judgement, and with practical solutions in mind.
Alongside these discussions, regular workshops will continue through the year, including psychomotor development sessions with a trained specialist, as well as weekly parent–child play sessions hosted at the crèche in Monaco-Ville. Baby massage and babywearing workshops are also available and organised according to demand.
All events are held at the Foyer Sainte Dévote on rue Philibert Florence. Participation is free, but prior registration is required by contacting +377 93 15 61 80 or emailing espacesparents@mairie.mc.
The ‘Espaces Parents’ programme has become a trusted resource for families in the Principality, offering a supportive environment and expert-led advice on the complex journey of parenthood.
