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
We are monitoring the situation with COVID-19 carefully and evaluating already booked group courses on a course-by-course basis. Courses that must be cancelled due to self-isolation rules will be moved to an online format. We will be contacting those already registered via email if that is the case.
We have Online Private Prenatal Classes available that you can take 1-on-1 with our instructors using video calls such as Zoom. We also just opened up some Online Group Prenatal Classes as well.
