Join other families to play and learn in a baby-safe environment. Babies will have fun with activities and songs. Parenting discussions will focus on your child's age and development, early learning activities, sleeping and eating. Parents/caregivers and babies remain together for the entire class. Come learn, laugh, and connect with other families who are sharing the same experience.

Parents, caregivers and babies, birth to 16 weeks, are invited to join us for our Newborn Parenting series. This is an opportunity for free weekly baby weight checks, to connect with other new parents, ask questions, or talk about concerns, gain professional advice, laugh, cry, and talk about life with your new baby. Classes are led by a licensed parent educator along with guest speakers including WIC, public health, lactation, pediatrics, early intervention and mental health.
