Description

Community is calling: Find your village for more than just mat leave with Mommy Connections Cape Breton!

CALLING ALL CREATIVES (or wannabe-creatives)! Our Mom & Baby–Mama Makers program offers new moms a unique opportunity to meet others, get crafty or relax (with guidance), and share space—in a fun, low-pressure, inclusive environment.

Each week features a different keepsake craft to take home as a memento or creative activity for playtime. Don’t worry if you’re not super crafty; nothing is too complicated, and everything is step-by-step so you can (mostly) relax! As an overflow variation of our flagship Mom & Baby program, there will the same format to share and learn from each other each week. You’ll get a chance 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 Monday in our Mommy Connections community space in the Southend Community Centre. This is a 6-week program best for babies from newborn up to ~8 months (pre-crawling).

Sample Session  Agenda

Class topics are subject to change

Q: How old should my baby be when I register?
A: The ideal time to do this program is when your baby is when you feel ready following birth. We also welcome ‘older’ babies up to 8 months, so long as they aren’t too mobile yet. If your baby is older or becoming busy, we offer a Mini Movers programs for 8 to 24 month olds, and a popular Travelling Tots program for 2 to 4 years where baby siblings are welcome to tag along!

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: What if I want to participate in two different programs with two different children? Is there a discount?
A: Yes! Those joining multiple different programs during the same round (ex: Mom & Baby PLUS Mini Movers,  Travelling Tots, or Mom to Be) can apply coupon code MULTICLASSBONUS10 to save $10! Apply during the same transaction with both products OR to the second product if purchasing separately/later. If a class gets cancelled, the refund will be revoked on the cancelled program. This does NOT apply to previous+current programs that are consecutive rounds.

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. If you know you will miss more than 2 classes (for example, due to a trip) we encourage not taking up a program spot and waiting for the next round.

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 per program.

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 will be a part of any given session. Class topics change from session to session for variety and are subject to local experts’ availability or supplies. We can, however, promise you a great mix of things!

Q: What is your cancellation policy?
A: Please note, registration cancellations after payment 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.
