Parent and Caregiver Education
- Baby and You:
Parenting or expecting a baby can bring some challenges as well as joys! Come share your journey at our virtual or in-person group. This is a time for meeting other families, sharing of community resources, early learning activities, and topics relating to raising infants. Guest speakers are invited to join us for most sessions to share information about different topics…let us know about any topics that are of interest to you!

- Infant Massage:
We invite you and your infant to join us to learn about infant massage. Infant massage is incredibly beneficial to both baby and carer as it encourages bonding, body awareness, promotes relaxation and sleep, and so much more.
Participants will have the opportunity to slow down and connect with their infant in a calm setting and try their hand at massage. There will also be the chance for discussion and connection with other carers who are also parenting an infant.

Bonding Together- Parent and Baby:

We recognize that this looks different for everyone and there are rewards and challenges along the way.This program provides a nurturing, engaging environment with opportunities for parents to share their knowledge, experiences, challenges and joys with breast/chestfeeding. Parents are encouraged to provide support to one another and naturally build social connections along the way. The facilitators welcome any questions and will share relevant information and resources each week.
This group is facilitated by: an accredited La Leche League Canada Leader, a non-profit organization that provides breast/chestfeeding support, as well as a certified lactation counselor and educator.
