Baby Institute

The parent is a child’s FIRST teacher!

Baby Institute is a FREE parenting program for families of children ages 0-5 living in specified Orange County communities. Our six-week program is designed to help caregivers increase their child development knowledge and child rearing skills.

 

Discussion Topics:

  • Tips for achieving a healthy lifestyle
  • Learning about family rituals, traditions, and exciting activities

 

How it works:

  • Six group class sessions
  • Five individualized sessions with professional support
  • Optional outreach events, community resources, and unique experiences!

 

Join us for fun, fellowship, learning, and laughter.

Connect with other parents while learning how to work with your children through family rituals, traditions, and exciting activities.

Help prepare your children for learning success through the use of books, language, and play.
