Parent Education Classes

Congratulations on your pregnancy! We are excited to offer Parent Education classes for our expectant moms and partners. Classes include Childbirth, Breastfeeding, Baby Care, and Comfort Measures for Labor classes to help you and your support person prepare for your new little one.

eLearning Childbirth Education

When in-person childbirth education classes are not possible, we have a solution - eLearning Childbirth Education!

The InJoy Health Education Learning Portal is an interactive, Web-based tool that contains animated illustrations, videos, voice-overs, and games. It's great not only for first-time parents but is also useful as a refresher course for repeat parents.
