Transition into Parenthood
Infant Care

Class participants will have the opportunity for hands-on learning of infant care skills with practice dolls and real baby bath tubs. We even provide the Empathy Belly Pregnancy Simulator for Dads to join in on the pregnancy experience! Come as a couple or individually depending on your needs.

Baby Boot Camp is for adults only. Please make arrangements for childcare and you are encouraged to use Hourly Care at one of our CDCs.
