About Daddy & Baby Classes with Mommy Connections
Are you a new Dad unsure of how to go about building your network of support? Maybe you work from home with a flexible schedule and want to meet some other Dads in the same boat to meet with the kids at the park or a grab a coffee/drink with. Maybe you’ve looked to find some organizations that serve Dads and you’re coming up empty handed.
In Canada many mothers enjoy a year of maternity leave, which is why we offer weekday programs for moms and babies in the first 12-18 months. Our programs are a great way for Moms to find their village, bond with their babies and learn all about what their community has to offer them. But what about Dads?
Some Dads work from home or share in parental leave. Some Dads are facing parenting their child alone – challenges women can face, except Dads may face it with far fewer resources and support. At Mommy Connections Midtown we offer our programs (Mini Movers and Tots) to Dads as well. This fall though we’d like to see how many Dads we have in the community who might be interested in meet ups, events or even shorter sessions of our popular programming – but geared just towards Dads.
As modern families change and our work situations and division of childcare duties also shifts post pandemic, we’d like to evolve our programming to be inclusive of all families.
Because Dads need a village too!
