About Birth and Parenting Educators

Birth & Parenting Educators is a Lamaze Approved Provider offering a variety of classes for pregnant and parenting families. We celebrate our 21st anniversary this year providing evidence-based childbirth and parenting information.

Why take our classes?

  • You will get personalized information in a small group ~ six mothers and their support people or fewer in a class
  • You will learn by doing. Our classes are interactive
  • We cover non-medical and medical aspects of birth and parenting. We start with normal birth and explore the emotional and physical aspects and assist you in knowing your options for how you want to give birth.
  • Classes are held at comfortable locations and times for you.

    Birth & Parenting Education offers:

    |Basic Series| 5 weeks for 2 1/2 hours each week

    |Vaginal Birth After Cesarean| 1 class for 4 hours

    Scholarships and payment plans are available. No woman should go without birth classes for lack of funds. If your insurance is Medicaid, there is no out-of-pocket cost to you.
