Prepared Childbirth Classes
This series of classes helps couples encounter the labor and delivery process with the knowledge to make this an enjoyable experience.  Classes focus on preparing expectant parents intellectually, emotionally and physically for childbirth.  This course should be taken the last three months of pregnancy, but reservations should be made as early in the pregnancy as possible.

For Kids Only
These classes are designed for children 3-6 years of age to assist them in preparing for their new role as a big brother or sister. The class gives the child a better understanding of what to expect when the new baby is brought home. Each child will practice holding, feeding and diapering a life-like doll. Children will tour a Labor, Delivery, Recovery, Postpartum (LDRP) room (upon availability).
