NEWBORN PARENTING CLASSES
ECFE is your source for the information and support you need during all those incredible firsts. Babies’ classes are a collection of courses focused on the essential topics you need to know as a new parent.
All‘ Newborn’,‘ Babies’ and‘ Ones’ classes are non-separating which means that parents / caregivers and children remain together for the entire class.
Newborn Parenting( Birth to 16 weeks) Parents, caregivers and babies, birth to 16 weeks, are invited to join us for our Newborn Parenting series. This is an opportunity for free weekly baby weight checks, to connect with other new parents, ask questions, or talk about concerns, gain professional advice, laugh, cry, and talk about life with your new baby. Classes are led by a licensed parent and family educator along with guest speakers including WIC, Public Health, Lactation, Pediatrics, Early Intervention and Mental Health. Start anytime and come as many times as you like until your little one is 16 weeks old. Pre-registration is not required, but it does help us be more prepared. And, best of all, it’ s FREE!
