Hopkins Community Education

Start Your Parenting Adventure with Us!

The journey of caring for your baby is an exciting one, and we’re here to support you every step of the way! This class offers parenting education from a Licensed Parenting Educator and the shared experiences of fellow caregivers navigating the early stages of parenthood.

Our Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) classes include:

• Parenting Education: Learn about newborn development, sleep, feeding, self-care, relationships, and more.
• Baby Interaction Time: Play, connect, and engage with your baby during hands-on activities.
• Interactive Circle Time: Sing songs, tell stories, and enjoy movement activities together with your baby.
• Supportive Community: Connect with other caregivers who are also transitioning to parenthood in a supportive, understanding environment.

This class is “come as you are.” We understand that babies cry, need to eat, or get sleepy during class, and we embrace these moments as part of the experience.

Expecting Parents & New Arrivals

Expecting parents are welcome, and new parents can register throughout the year. We are here to support you, whether you're preparing for your baby’s arrival or already on your parenting journey.

Sibling Care is offered for children ages 6 months – 5.5 years and have not started Kindergarten yet. Spots are limited, so please register early!

Waitlists help us grow! If a class is full, be sure to join the waitlist. It helps us plan and may lead to the addition of new classes.
