Class Safety Details
Fragrance-Free Classrooms
We want to be sure all our new parents are safe and comfortable during their classes. Some babies as well as adults have sensitivity and/or allergic reactions to various fragrant products. That’s why our classrooms are fragrance-free. Help us help everyone by not wearing fragrant products like perfume, cologne and scented lotions when you come for classes, events or support groups.
Inclement Weather
Now and then snow, ice and other weather events cause us to cancel programs for everyone’s safety. We will make every effort to reach you by phone or email to let you know if we need to postpone your class.
Even if your class is not canceled, use your best judgment. Stay home to stay safe if you need to. Just call us as soon as possible to reschedule.
