Having a child is a life-changing experience. The Parenting Education Department at The Children's Hospital at Saint Peter's offers a variety of classes that prepare expectant parents and adoptive parents-to-be for the arrival of their babies. Sessions include classes on baby care and breastfeeding, infant massage, and a sibling class to prepare brothers and sisters for the new addition to the family.

Maternity tours are free and held frequently, but they are limited to the expectant parent and a guest. Please call in advance to register as space is limited.
