And now there's two (or more!) If you're a mom of more than one child, you might be feeling tired and overwhelmed. We want to help. So much more than just a Mommy and Me class, our Mothers' Gathering classes provide education and support to moms who are looking for information & friendship. Not just a baby group, or a class where moms will be told how to parent their child, we are a place to gather the information and tools to determine what fits best for you and your child.
Unlike our original Mothers' Gathering Classes, our Second and Third Time Mothers' Gathering Class is tailored for moms who are welcoming their second or third baby. A growing family presents significant transition and change. The Second and Third Time Mothers' Gathering Class covers all the same comprehensive topics as our original Mothers' Gathering classes, but it also highlights pertinent issues such as time management, navigating sibling relationships, and emotional guilt. These classes are not typically offered in our original three-session format that spans baby's first year and are generally limited to one or two sessions. However, moms are always welcome to join an ongoing Mothers' Gathering Class with other moms of babies around the same age if they would like to continue enjoying friendship, support, and education through their baby's first year.
Our Mothers' Gathering moms are grouped with other moms whose babies' birthdays are generally within a few months of each other. This allows you to connect with other moms experiencing similar successes and challenges and provides you with a network of support. Our classes are designed to foster meaningful relationships and create a safe, loving space for participants. Due to the nature of bonding that takes place in a consistent group environment, "drop-ins" or trial classes are not available, and a minimum purchase of 8 classes is required. Moms may join at the start of any new session (or mid-session, if space is available).
Classes are held once a week and last 90 minutes. There are typically four to twelve moms and babies enrolled. Each class includes a specific topic led by an instructor, an open-forum discussion, and Q&A time. For babies, the class includes singing songs, developmentally appropriate toys, movement, and other activities to aid their cognitive, social, and motor skill development.
