Relevant Feedback
Very helpful class! My husband and I are first-time parents with little to no experience caring for babies, so we learned a lot from this class. It gave us simple, practical tips on what to expect and how to care for our baby once we bring him home. We especially appreciated the advice on what to expect, which products are actually useful (and which ones aren’t), and the hands-on portion where we got to practice changing diapers, swaddling, and properly holding a baby.
The class was absolutely worth the time and money. The instructor was welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the class enjoyable. She answered all of our questions, even the ones that probably sounded silly, and made us feel much more confident about bringing our baby home. We would definitely recommend this class to other first-time parents!
Paige is excellent! Very knowledgeable and shared so much useful information!
Great course. We left feeling confident and informed. Paige was a wonderful instructor - she kept class paced well, gave helpful feedback and was awesome at answering everyone’s questions.
I was also very grateful for the inclusive language Paige used throughout the course. As same sex parents, we felt welcome and supported which is unfortunately not always a given.
The facility was beautiful and extremely well equipped. Comfort tools and healthy snacks were thoughtfully offered throughout the 4 hour class.
Loved Paige! She did a great job providing us as much information as possible and kept the class light and fun. My husband and I felt great leaving her class.
