Description

Tired of mom having all the fun? Wondering why there’s no “Daddy Connections”? After years of requests, it’s here!

**JOINING LATE? You can sign up at a pro-rated price for the remaining 3 weeks of the program! Automatically applied as a sale.**

Our flagship Mom & Baby program is now available in a special 4-week Dad & Baby format, offering new-ish dads (first time or seasoned) a unique opportunity to meet others, learn about local programs and services, and gather valuable parenting info—in a fun, low-pressure, inclusive environment. We listened, and are happy to check off the biggest requested boxes:

  • Weekend (Sundays)
  • Afternoon (12-1:30pm)
  • Broader age range (now 0-24 months)
  • Dad facilitator (James is back!)

Each week features a casual discussion led by a local expert on relevant topics, or you’ll enjoy a fun and interactive activity/craft together, plus plenty of time to socialize. You’ll get an informal opportunity to chat and connect with others experiencing the same challenges, fears and excitement, building your village one week at a time.

We’ll meet every Sunday at noon in the NEW Mommy Connections community space in the Southend Community Centre. This is a 4-week program designed for babies from newborn to 24 months. The broad age range allows us to offer the program regularly and hopefully get the required numbers. 

Included in your $80(+tax) registration fee is:

  • Four classes full of information, activities, bonding opportunities and connection
  • A private Facebook group so that you can get to know your fellow dads better
  • A swag bag with lots of goodies, samples, and coupons from local and national partners
  • BONUS COUPON* Joining a 6-week First Fall program too? If you/partner join Dad & Baby PLUS Mom & Baby/Mini Movers/Travelling Tots, you can get $10 off Dad & Baby with coupon code DADDISCOUNT10. Discount applied to Dad & Baby only, either as a separate order if you decide to join later or the same order if purchasing at the same time.

Why Mommy Connections Dad & Baby?

Here are some of our past participants’ favourite things about this one-of-a-kind program (and why we think you’ll love it too!):

  • It’s a great way—and reason—to get out of the house in the early months of parenthood
  • The environment is warm, welcoming and inclusive 
  • It provides a unique chance to try baby/parent-related services/activities ‘before you buy’
  • You’ll make connections that will carry you well beyond the class walls
  • The expert information you’ll receive will make parenting easier (and more fun!)

*Please note that a minimum of 8 families are required in order to run this program. View our full cancellation policy here.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How old should my baby be when I register?
A: The ideal time to do this program is when your baby is between 0-12 months old, or not yet too mobile. That said, we do now welcome up to 24 months of age to give more dads a chance to connect. We also offer a popular Travelling Tots program for 2 to 4 years where baby siblings are welcome to tag along, and dads/other caregivers are also welcome for those with children over 24 months. 

Q: What if I have multiples?
A: We welcome and love having multiples in our programs! You pay for YOUR spot as the caregiver, not the number of children attending, for all programs except Parent & Tot (2-4 years).

Q: Can I attend just a few classes?
A: Single sessions are not available. A huge focus of our program is community-building, which can only be created when a group is consistent from start to finish. We understand things come up and you may not be able to attend all classes, but you should plan to/be able to attend when you sign up.

Q: Can I join a program after the start date?
A: If there are any spaces remaining after a program begins, you can join late! The cost will be adjusted for you as a sale so you can register as usual. We’ll handle the rest and get you up to speed! Once we are more than 2 weeks into a program, please reach out first before registering. You may still be able to join, but the fee is only be prorated up to 2 classes.

Q: How many moms are in each class?
A: We aim to keep classes around 10-12 participants to foster a cozy, community feel. This may be more (up to 14) or less (as few as 8), depending on a program’s demand, but we do our best to stick to the sweet spot!

Q: When will I find out the schedule of topics/activities? Are the class types/activities guaranteed?
A: You will receive an official schedule before your session begins. A tentative agenda is available above, but is subject to change. We cannot guarantee that a particular topic/presenter will be a part of any given session. Class topics change from session to session for variety and are subject to local experts’ availability. We can, however, promise you a great mix of things!

Q: What is your cancellation policy?
A: Please note, registration cancellations are subject to a $30 administration fee, if applicable. View our full cancellation policy here. A minimum of 8 participants are needed in order to run this class. In the event that we need to cancel due to low registration, you will receive a full refund. You will be given the opportunity to be placed on the waitlist for the next series.

Q: Have you made any changes due to COVID-19?
A:  Please read our new policy here.
