Our sibling class prepares children 3 to 7 years old for the arrival of their baby brother or sister. In this class, future siblings will learn what happens when mom goes to the hospital, what babies can do, what babies do all day, hands-on practice changing a diaper, and how to safely hold and play with a newborn. Included is a short video on being a sibling, hands-on activities, and an age-appropriate story. The special role of being a big sibling will be emphasized. At the end of class, each child will receive a certificate of completion.
PLEASE NOTE:
- This is an in-person class held at the Steinberg Wellness Center.
