Classes
Our classes are offered in a series, bundled, and `a la carte, to give you the ability to customize your prenatal education for your needs. From childbirth classes to breastfeeding information and newborn care, these baby classes are designed to empower parents and help you prepare for your bundle of joy.
The Family Room difference: small classes, community, easy to register, comfy space, variety of options, personalized attention
The cost of all Before Baby prenatal classes includes two people. (note: CPR/First Aid is sold individually if not purchasing the Baby Basics Bundle)
From the physiology and stages of labor and delivery, to basic support techniques and more, a childbirth class is an important way to prepare you and your partner for this life-changing event. This class makes sure you understand the basics.
Taken as a stand-alone class or as an extension of the Childbirth Prep class, this class will teach you a variety of techniques to cope with the discomfort of labor and delivery (think of Lamaze, but better).
Breastfeeding is natural, but it is not always easy. Understanding important breastfeeding information, like what to expect and where to turn for help, can put you at ease the first time you attempt to nurse and beyond.
No, they don’t come with instructions. This hands-on class will provide practical advice on how to care for your newborn through the first few weeks of exhaustion, hormones, and profound joy!
Infant/Child/Adult CPR & First Aid
Prepare yourself and caregivers for the unthinkable. Learn life-saving skills in our Infant/Child/Adult CPR and First Aid class. Note: following American Heart Association guidelines.
There are lots of resources on how to care for your newborn, but not enough information on how to care for yourself after delivery. This postpartum recovery class is all about you.
Car Seats & Strollers 101: What You Need to Know
(free workshop with purchase of a Prenatal Class)
With so many different types to choose from, picking a car seat and stroller can feel overwhelming. It’s a big investment, they keep your little one safe, and you use them all the time.
MOMMY & ME/PARENT & ME
The Family Room’s Mommy & Me and Parent & Me program is up-to-date with helpful and practical information for today’s parents. We cover newborn and baby development, parenting topics, and more. We always leave lots of time for questions. Our class is also about you – we don’t leave out the parent part of parent & me. Lastly, we always have fun.
Here’s why our Mommy & Me and Parent & Me program is special:
- The group will become your village. You see the same moms every week. You share, bond, grow, connect and go out for coffee or lunch after class. Sometimes, they even become your life long friends.
- There is a facilitated topic each week that is relevant to the age of the babies’ birth months to nurture attachment and learning with awesome handouts and lots of time for questions.
- The group is led by a marriage and family therapist with an extensive background in infant and child development. It’s the best of both worlds.
- The groups are organized by birth month, with generally a two month span, so all the babies are about the same age.
- We understand that there are many different approaches, philosophies, and ways to do things when it comes to parenting. We will provide research-based curriculum, but want you to trust your gut.
The Basics:
- The series are 8-weeks long and each class is 90 minutes.
- The fee for a series is $320.
- We have developed lots of great topics, but are flexible to meet the needs of each group.
- Our interactive classes include songs, open discussion and the topic of the week.
- Don’t see your birth month? Email us with your birth month and we will be sure to contact you when your class is posted.
- Session you want to join already started? Yes, you can join late! Email us for more information and we will do our best to get you in.

Music
The many benefits of music in the lives of babies and kids are well-documented. From brain and language development, to social and emotional benefits, music is an important building block. It also has the amazing ability to bring people together and provide joy.
The Music Room, The Family Room’s exclusive music program, is both an engaging and fun way to connect with your child.
Here’s why The Music Room is special:
- Music education is tailored to your child’s development and age. The program changes and grows with them. We add more complexity in each stage to continue to build and further develop musicality.
- We’ve partnered with Encore Music and Performing Arts to develop and lead our music program. We have known Rebecca and her team a long time and are thrilled to welcome them into the family.
- Our space is a welcoming, family-friendly environment designed specifically for babies and young children.
The Basics:
- The series are 10 weeks and the classes are 45 minutes long.
- The cost for a 10-week series is $220.
- You can purchase and attend a single trial class for $22, as long as the class you are interested in is not sold out. Please check below. A class will be noted as sold out if there is no additional availability.
- See make-up class policy below.
The Classes:
We’ve divided your little ones into the following groups to adapt the program to their developmental needs. Please use as a guide — you know your child best!
Prelude (Non-Crawlers): This class gives each caregiver a variety of songs, movements, and melodies to communicate through music and play.
Movers & Shakers (about 7-to-14 months): Bounce, sway, and giggle as we engage the senses, explore instruments, and introduce the gathering drum.
Single Notes (1-year-olds): Kids and caretakers will have fun while learning musical lessons as the little ones discover their musical world!
Rhythm & Twos (2-year-olds): Older toddlers are ready to sing short phrases, put rhythm and pitch together, plus explore movement and dance.

Make-Up Class Policy
Students are allowed one make-up class per series. You may speak directly with the instructor to arrange attendance in another class during the same series dates. Class sizes are limited, so arrangements must be made with your instructor ahead of time. In addition, there will be mixed-age weekend make-up classes added to the end of each series which you can attend.
Messy Play/Art
Children learn about the world around them through their senses, in fact they rely on them. The desire to engage with sensory discovery comes naturally to little ones – that is why babies put everything in their mouths!
Sensory play is any hands-on activity that gives little ones the opportunity to safely discover and explore using a combination of their senses, including touch, smell, taste, movement, balance, sight and hearing. In our messy play/art classes, they will explore and use their senses in a new, meaningful way.
Research has shown that messy play is an important part of early childhood development providing lots of opportunities to develop and learn. Some of the benefits of sensory play include:
- Stimulates brain development by exposing children to new sensations and experiences
- Supports language development by giving little ones new ways to talk about their world
- Fosters positive interactions and social learning through observation of how peers engage with an activity
- Builds self-confidence and awareness as they interact with materials in a creative and spontaneous way
- Supports fine motor skills as they manipulate materials in different ways
- Helps regulate internal discomfort by providing tools for managing frustration and a strategy for calming down
- Promotes scientific process opportunities through creating, investigating, exploring, and problem solving
The Basics:
- Led by early childhood educators, a variety of sensory activities will be offered each week for the little ones to enjoy — from different tactile experiences, to messy art projects, and creative discovery.
- Each class also will include songs and a story, plus tips on how to incorporate sensory play at home.
- The series are 8 weeks. All classes are 45 minutes long.
- The cost for the 8-week series is $225 (includes a materials fee).
We will explore. We will create. And we will definitely get messy.
