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!
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.

This class will allow you to meet an instructor, see some current parents taking a class, and get a sneak peak at what our classes cover.
Plan on taking an intro session sometime during your second trimester, no matter where you plan to take your actual class.
There is NO registration fee, but to prepare for your arrival, please complete the registration process and you will see confirmation that this is a free event.
Attendance will help you learn more about the benefits of preparing for birth with a Lamaze class and you will receive a GIFT CERTIFICATE for up to $20.00 to apply to ANY future childbirth class with DC Lamaze!
These sessions fill up fast so sign up soon.
