The Baby Prep™ philosophy acknowledges that each birthing experience is unique and therefore, your childbirth education should be unique and tailored to your specific needs and concerns.
COVID-19 NOTICE
All in-person group courses listed on our website are evaluated on a course-by-course basis. Though COVID-19 case numbers are decreasing, we will not hold an in-person course if we cannot hold it in a safe environment. We are doing our absolute best to make the courses listed in-person happen! We will contact those registered in any of these classes in advance if we need to move a course online. If you want to be guaranteed an in-person prenatal class, please sign up for an In-Person Private Prenatal Class.
