Parenting Classes

Pregnancy Education

Whether this is your first pregnancy or you feel like you should be a pro by now, we can support you through your journey. We have lessons covering all areas of pregnancy, child birth preparation, breastfeeding, postpartum, infant care, and even special sessions for dads! The nurse or educator you meet with will also help you navigate any additional resources available to you and can assist in any needed referrals or applications. By participating in our education sessions throughout your pregnancy you will feel more confident, prepared, and have access to our baby boutique to stock up for everything you need! 

Parenting Education

We have over 200 lessons that include calming a crying baby, emotional and physical development, milestones, nutrition, sleep and potty training, infant and child CPR, behavior modification, parenting styles, single parenting, effective co-parenting, fatherhood and many life-skills. The parent educator you meet with will also help you navigate any additional resources available to you and can assist in referrals or applications.

If you are a third party, such as a social worker, we can provide updates directly to you about the education the parent is receiving with a signed ROI. Please complete the referral form to get started. 

Parents Forever

This eight hour class is curriculum written to meet the requirements of the Parent Education Minimum Standards per Minn. Stat. § 518.157 for when parents are divorcing or negotiating custody. It is held in two back to back evening sessions once monthly, or in multiple one to one sessions during our normal hours. Parents in the process of a divorce, or negotiating custody, may be court ordered to complete parenting education. We are a certified facilitator of the Parents Forever program created by the University of Minnesota Extension office. We offer this class at no cost to you, but the purchase of a workbook is required. Please call 218-844-8822 to register or for more information.
