Parenting Class

Pregnancy Center East sponsors free parenting classes for 8 consecutive weeks, three times per year. Typically, the 8-week sessions begin in late January, early April and mid September and currently are scheduled on Thursday nights from 6:45 pm – 8:15 pm. The classes are held at our center on 3944 Edwards Road in Hyde Park.

Class space is limited to twelve or less participants not only because of space limitations but also to encourage attendees’ active participation and personal attention from our teachers and professional guest speakers. These classes are open to any first time expectant mother who needs our assistance.

As an eligible client, you should receive an invitation in the mail to start the parenting classes. Please make sure to RSVP immediately to the center if you plan on attending, as classes do fill quickly.

Fathers or a support person are welcome and encouraged to attend with the expectant mom as well. The classes provide time for lots of group discussion and also offer support both before and after your baby is born. Once you have attended all 8 consecutive, evening classes, you will receive a gift card for a new baby crib and mattress or other baby necessities at the end of that last class. Course Outline
