FREE Parenting Courses
We run evidence-based parenting support programs with well-qualified and experienced facilitators such as Circle of Security, 123 Magic, Tuning in to Kids, Tuning in to Teens and Bringing up Great Kids. These free courses provide user-friendly, practical tips for parents based on best practices and research of what works.
We can also provide child care so that you can attend comfortably, and we even offer interpreters if required.
Free Meetings With A Family Worker
We can meet up with you on a ‘one-off’ or a regular basis. We will listen to your concerns. We may help you set some goals based on what you and your family most require and help you create plans to reach these goals.
We often find it helps to work with whole families, including children. We can also refer you to a more specialised service if needed.

Our Community Stories
Brendon shares how Homework Club, Kids Club and holiday activities have helped his daughter over the past three years. He talks about growing confidence, friendships and staying on top of schoolwork.
“We have a great relationship with the Woodville Alliance staff here, and we feel very warm and welcome.”
Read more experiences from community members and our CaFS team in the carousel below.
"Your Woodville program has consistently been the most effective and practical wellbeing program we’ve had. The knowledge and skills you deliver really fit the needs of our students. Even the casual teacher told me personally that she felt your program was the most valuable. I hardly ever get this kind of universal positive feedback from almost all teachers regarding an external provider." -
E.Zhao (EAL/D Teacher, Holroyd High School)
"It's a very heartwarming experience to see children grow up in front of us, and I think these families consider us like part of their families." -
Preeti (CaFS Team Member)
"Regular 'Linker' meetings with local services have helped close gaps so families do not fall through" -
Woodville Alliance team
"Woodville Alliance have been an important link for our client and his mum… Without their assistance, we wouldn't have been able to advocate for the appropriate support." -
Support Coordinator
“The program has helped me better understand healthy and unhealthy relationships.” -

Tantrums, tears and BIG feelings — are they normal?
For young children, learning to understand and manage emotions is an important part of growing up.
This week, Maryana answers a question plenty of parents have asked: “My child is having lots of tantrums. Is that normal?”
Our experienced educators help children begin to recognise and name their emotions, calm themselves and find ways to communicate what they need.
Importantly, we also talk with families about what they’re seeing at home so we can work together and provide children with consistency and support.
💬 Read Maryana’s advice in this week’s Ask the Educator.
Have questions about your child’s early learning journey? Our educators are here to listen and help.

Safe work is for life. 💛
This October, Woodville Alliance is supporting National Safe Work Month 2026, recognising the importance of safe and healthy workplaces for everyone.
Across our services, our people work in many different environments – supporting children, families, people with disability and communities throughout Western Sydney.
Wherever the work happens, safety matters.
This year’s theme, Safe work is for life, reminds us that workplace health and safety is not only about preventing harm today. It is about protecting people’s health, wellbeing and future.
At Woodville, we all have a role to play – by working safely, speaking up, looking out for one another and helping create environments where our people and the communities we support can thrive.
Safe work is for life.

🧚♀️🌸 What a magical morning! 🌸🧚♂️
Our families were very busy today at our School Holiday Program creating their very own fairy gardens! 🌿🍄✨
It was wonderful to see parents and children spending the morning together, getting creative, sharing ideas and having lots of fun along the way. 💕 There were plenty of smiles, imagination and some absolutely beautiful fairy garden creations!
A big thank you to all the families who joined us and made the morning so special. 🥰
🏺✨ Don’t forget to join us again next week! We’ll be getting creative with a fun Pottery Workshop. We can’t wait to see you there!

💚 Together We Thrive this Mental Health Month
October is Mental Health Month – a reminder that looking after our mental health matters, and that none of us needs to do it alone.
This year’s theme, Together We Thrive, celebrates the power of connection.
A conversation. Checking in with someone. Feeling welcomed and included. Spending time with family, friends or community. These everyday moments can help us feel supported, understood and that we belong.
At Woodville Alliance, we see every day how connection creates stronger people, families and communities.
This Mental Health Month, take a moment to check in with yourself – and with the people around you. Sometimes a small act of connection can make a meaningful difference.
💚 Together We Thrive.

What a fantastic Children’s Week celebration!
Yesterday, Woodville Alliance was proud to have a stall at the Children’s Week event at Fairfield Showgrounds, and what an amazing turnout it was! 💙💚
We loved seeing so many of our familiar families enjoying the day, having fun and getting involved in the activities. It was also wonderful meeting new families and connecting with members of our local community.
A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our stall to say hello, have a chat and learn more about Woodville Alliance and the programs and services we offer.
We’re grateful to be part of such a vibrant and connected community. 🌟

What if English isn’t the main language your family speaks at home? 🌏
At Woodville Alliance ELC, we see a child’s language and culture as an important part of who they are.
This week, Thi talks about how we support children from different cultural and language backgrounds as they settle into early learning and develop their English.
Our educator team reflects the diversity of the Western Sydney community around us. That lived understanding helps us work with families so children feel understood, comfortable and confident.
Because before children can really thrive, they need to feel that they belong.
💬 Read Thi’s answer in this week’s Ask the Educator
Looking for an ELC where your family’s culture and background are welcomed? Come and meet our diverse team.
