How to Register

Pre-registration is required for all classes. Registration is limited and will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. To reserve your spot, send a minimum payment of $100 (or the full fee if tuition is less than $100). Balances are due on the first day of class. A limited number of more flexible payment plans or work/study opportunities are available upon request, but must be approved in advance. Once we receive your check, we will mail you a letter of confirmation providing directions and other information. Last-minute registrations may be accepted, space permitting.

Discount for Multiple Classes

Sign up for more than one of any of the childbirth and parenting classes and support groups and take a 10% discount off the price. In order to qualify for the discount, you must pay the full fee at the time of registration.

Make-Up Policy

We are not able to accommodate the many requests we receive to allow people to make up classes in a series for which they have schedule conflicts. Our classes are usually full and there simply is not the space to do this. If you have to miss a class, it is fine for you or your partner to come alone. If you both have to miss, the teacher can point you in the direction of reading and audio/visual materials that cover similar information. If you anticipate multiple conflicts, you may want to consider private classes which can be designed to meet your unique needs.

Refund Policy

A full refund, minus a $25 processing fee, will be provided upon request up until one week before any class begins. After that time, refunds will not be issued, though students may use their credit (minus $25) to enroll in a future class. Once a class has begun, no refunds or credits will be issued.

Payment by Check

When sending in payment, please include the following information:

  • your name and name of one person who will be attending the classes with you
  • address, phone number, and email address
  • due date
