Parent & Me Program Overview
Build Your Village - Enroll In a Group Now!
Having a baby is a time of celebration, but it is also a time of big transitions as you try to navigate your way through the uncharted terrain of parenting. We know how important it is for new parents to have a community and a safe space where they can openly discuss questions like these and more:- “How do I know if I am doing this parenting thing right?”
- “How do I play and connect with my baby?”
- “How do I get my baby on some type of sleep schedule?”
- “How do I keep from getting frustrated with my partner over, well, everything?”
- “When and how do I introduce solids?”
- “How do I stay sane during this insane time of my life?”
- The list goes on and on and on…
- Learn how babies mature emotionally, cognitively, socially & physically
- Gain confidence in your new role as a parent
- Learn to adjust to the joys and challenges of parenting
- Learn to use mindfulness, communication, connection and respect to raise secure, independent and empathetic human beings
- Receive guidance and support from our group leaders who are all licensed psychotherapists
- Build your village while you learn and have fun!
In Person Class Structure:
We offer 75-minute sessions that meet weekly and begin when your baby is between 4 and 8 weeks old. As many parents return to work most groups stay together thru Session #1 (10 weeks) and Session#2 (8 weeks).
A new topic is presented for discussion each week, but we always include developmental play, as well as a "check-in" time to connect and ask questions. As babies grow, so does the curriculum, adding new activities to each session to help promote baby’s development.
Many parents find that they build lifelong friendships with the other parents in their groups. It truly is an educational and rewarding experience for all.
If some groups want to continue longer we will work with them to facilitate additional sessions.
