Description

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

Our flagship Mom & Baby program offers new moms a unique opportunity to meet other moms, learn about local programs and services, and gather valuable parenting info—in a fun, low-pressure, inclusive environment.

Each week features a discussion led by a local expert on topics such as sleep, introducing solids, developmental milestones, etc. Or, we’ll enjoy a fun and interactive activity like a craft, photo day, yoga, music, infant massage, etc. 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 Tuesday 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).

Included in your $120(+tax) registration fee is:

  • Six classes full of information, activities, bonding opportunities and connection
  • A free professional picture of you and your baby, taken by local photographer Wendy Gouthro (Edgewood Studio) with the option to purchase your additional photos or your full gallery at a special Mommy Connections rate
  • A private Facebook group/chat so that you can get to know your fellow moms better
  • A swag bag with lots of goodies and samples from national partners + digital coupons from local collaborators

*BONUS COUPON: Coming from a previous Mom to Be prenatal program now that baby is here? Don’t forget to use your one-time coupon to save $15 on a Mom & Baby program (see code previously shared in your private Facebook group for Mom to Be)!

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 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/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 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.
