Parent & Infant Programs

Join us one afternoon a week in a beautiful setting and discuss a healthy start for your family.   ​Our groups offer a wonderful opportunity for you to meet other parents and caregivers in a warm and supportive environment.

​Parent & Infant Group (newborn to age one)​
Our Parent & Infant Group is for parents or caregivers with their babies from newborn till around one or so.  Come and join us once a week for a cup of tea, conversation and a circle of songs and games for infants. Meet other parents in a supportive environment to share the joys and challenges of parenting. Share observations of your baby week to week, discover community resources for families, and discuss questions about infant development.
