Education & Classes

Our childbirth class is designed to help parents prepare for the arrival of their newborn. Parents will feel comfortable knowing what to expect during the labor and delivery process and acquire the knowledge to care for the newborn baby at home.

This class provides important information about the development of your baby, anatomy of your body, nutrition, breathing techniques, and much more. This full day course for new parents and experienced parents is recommended to be taken two to three months before your due date. Your support person is encouraged to attend with you.

Classes are offered FREE of charge to the public.
