We want you to understand what’s happening to your body and your family.
Transforming education for parents
We are a group of Carteret County residents who decided that we wanted parenting education to be more accessible to the residents of the county. Our solution? A new organization dedicated to teaching the things we wish we’d been taught.
So what are we doing?
We are offering classes, both group and individual, on just about anything you can think of related to having a baby. If you’re interested in a topic that isn’t listed, feel free to contact us, and we’ll let you know if we can teach it!

We do not want finances to keep anyone from taking our classes. If you are unable to pay, please contact us to discuss sliding scale payments or scholarships.
