Upcoming Programs
We are so excited to be offering all 3 of our amazing programs this September! We’re holding a condensed Weekend Pre Natal Workshop for our Mom To Be Program on September 21 & 22. This interactive workshop will cover everything you need to know to help you welcome your bundle of joy! We’ll be discussing the stages of labor, pain management options, roles of a birthing coach, breathing techniques, hospital policy & procedure, alternative birthing (water, hypnosis, etc), postpartum recovery & wellbeing, and much more! Our Mom & Baby is an 8-week program beginning September 17th that will cover tons of information for our Mamas and has lots of great activities for our Moms & Babies under 1 year old. We’ll be doing Intellidance, Baby Sign Language, Infant Massage, A Pottery Keepsake, Gymnastics – just to name a few! Mom & Tot will get our Mamas and Toddlers (1-4years) out and active beginning September 19th! We’ll be visiting lots of exciting locations that will give Mamas the opportunity to try out community programs as well as reconnect with others with children of the same age! For more information on ALL of our programs, visit the Class Dates section of the website!
Fisher Price Partnership
That’s right! We’ve recently partnered with Mattel Canada! What does this mean to you? Well, first off, Mama’s in our Fall Programs will have a whole bunch of really awesome age-appropriate toys for their little ones to try out! We all know there’s nothing worse than buying a toy only to get it home and have it thrown to the side, so this will give you and your kids the opportunity to fall in love with them before buying them! It also means that we have some fabulous prizes to give away at each of our sessions! We’ll be giving away a BabyGear Ocean Wonders™ Aquarium in our Mom To Be Program, a Laugh & Lean™ Fun With Friends™ Musical our Mom & Baby Program, and a Nickelodeon Bubble Guppies ™ Rock & Roll Stage in our Mom & Tot Program! See the blog on our website for more information about our Fisher Price Contests!
