Due to the weather, Baby Steps New Mom Group is canceled today. Rescheduled for Tuesday, June 16th.

Join us for our summertime new mom group, Baby Steps, at Eva Horning Park. New parents often find it very helpful to connect with other parents to talk about daily trials and celebrations, and even just have a reason to get out of the house. Meeting moms in a group setting can build lifelong friendships, for the parents and babies!

This is a one hour drop-in, informal group for moms-to-be and moms with a child under the age of 18 months old. This is an opportunity to connect with each other, ask questions, share advice, laugh, cry, and talk about life with a new baby. Start anytime, and come as many times as you would like! Groups are lead to accommodate all parenting styles. Help ease the transition into life with your new baby in a supportive, open environment. Registration is not required and do not worry about coming late! If you have older kids, they are welcome to play at the park.

Warmly, Jackie Allard, (406) 274-7772
