COVID-19 Update: We continue to serve you with LIVE ONLINE, ON DEMAND and limited IN PERSON classes.
New Planning Feature!
Wondering when to register? Ideally, you will want to finish your class 4-6 weeks before your due date.
We keep our class sizes small to better serve you. To help you know when to register, we will update the spaces available if 3 or fewer slots remain.
THREE New Class Offerings:
Ask the Instructor!
Meet our instructors in a live online discussion of various topics. Classes meet once a month for an hour and are free. Registration is required and participants get a $10 discount coupon for your next Lamaze Childbirth Class!
Boot Camp for New Dads
During a 3-hour workshop, "Rookie" dads-to-be talk to "Veteran" new dads (with their babies) about what the first months of fatherhood are really like.
(Yes, there's one for moms, too!)
SUPER-DUPER SIBLINGS!
Prepare your first-born for the new family member. They will learn all about babies and get a package in the mail: a baby bid to decorate and a super hero mask and cape. Now they're ready to be a super sibling!

Words of Praise
I enjoyed the hands-on practice of the laboring techniques with my birthing partner. My "Don Draper" husband was actually very engaged and referenced the list of "instructions" and position options frequently. I think up until this point, I was expecting him to just know what I needed, but he's a check-list kind of dude, so this really worked well for him.
