Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How old should my baby be when I register?
This program is for moms with babies from birth to 7 months of age. We generally recommend that if your baby is more mobile or walking, you consider our Mini Movers program, which is designed for babies approximately 8 – 16 months of age. However, you can choose whichever program feels right for you and your baby.
Q: Can I attend just a few classes?
Single sessions are not available. A huge focus of our program is community building, which is created when a group gets to know one another and stays consistent from start to finish.
Q: How many moms are in each class?
We aim to keep classes at or below 15 participants to foster a cozy, welcoming community feel.
Q: When will I find out the schedule of topics and activities? Are the class types and activities guaranteed?
You will receive a schedule via email on the Sunday before your session begins. We cannot guarantee that a particular class, such as CPR, yoga or music, will be part of any given session. Class topics and activities change from session to session and are subject to local experts’ availability. We can, however, promise you a great mix of information, activities and connection!
Q: What is your cancellation policy?
Registration cancellations are subject to a $30 administration fee. A minimum of 8 participants are needed in order to run this program. In the event that we need to cancel due to low registration, you will receive a full refund.
We will do our best to host classes in person. However, we reserve the right to move classes to a virtual format in the event of illness or further government restrictions.
If you have any further questions, please email our program director at katherine@mommyconnections.ca.
We can’t wait to celebrate the holiday season with you and your little one! 🎄❤️
