Are you pregnant and looking for support? Join a weekly free Welcome Baby prenatal nutrition group to learn about having a healthy pregnancy and taking care of your baby.
Child minding at our groups is not available at this time. Therefore, children over one year of age cannot attend the groups. We hope to have child minding in the future for those under 6 years of age. Check back for updates.
