START STRONG WITH OUR FOUNDATIONAL BABY PARENT STEPS|BPS CLASS

— BECAUSE EVERY STEP MATTERS!

Our Baby Parent Steps classes are designed to be flexible, allowing you to start around your baby’s 6th week or later. This early start ensures to lay the groundwork for your baby’s holistic development. The foundational class is required before enrolling in our advanced courses, which we strongly recommend during your baby’s first crucial year of life. These classes provide a comprehensive understanding of your baby’s development, equipping you with the knowledge and skills to support their growth effectively and empowering you as a parent.

Whether you are a single parent or a parent of multiple babies, please know that we understand the unique challenges you may face. Don’t hesitate to email us. We are here to provide the support and guidance you need, ensuring your babies receive the attention and support they deserve. If parents wish to continue classes or inquire about additional guidance beyond the baby’s first year, we recommend adding another advanced class or single sessions during the early toddler stage.

Please get in touch with us to select the best class that fits your and your baby’s individual needs. We are here to help you!

Additional Benefits of Virtual Classes

Enjoying remote Baby Parent Steps classes from the comfort
of your home has tremendous benefits for you and your baby.

  • You do not have to leave your home to get to class on
    time when your baby is crying or needs closeness or
    just fell asleep and you don’t want to wake them up,
    or your baby needs to be fed when you have to get out
    the door. There are many benefits right there.
  • You do not have to leave when caring for more
    than one child at home or if you homeschool other
    children.
  • Eliminating long commutes and gas money will save
    you precious time and money, which will directly
    prevent global warming. These are four benefits in
    one!
  • Avoid stressful car rides with crying babies and
    babies who dislike being strapped in a car seat.
  • Having a sensitive baby who dislikes being put down
    or away from the parent.
  • You don’t have to leave your environment when
    you or your baby feel ill, but you are unsure if it’s
    the flu, COVID, or just a common cold or
    something else that’s developing, and you can’t
    join a group for that reason.
  • When you feel that a cold is arising and you are not
    feeling well, but your baby is fine, and you can’t
    participate in person to respect and protect others.
  • You are not local and want to enroll in PEKiP®
    classes. By the way, Baby Parent Steps has been,
    since 2015, the only organization in the US that
    teaches PEKiP classes by a German Certified
    PEKiP® Educator.
  • You’ve heard nothing but good things about
    PEKiP® or the educator or have been referred by
    friends or family members.
  • You are shy or introverted but interested in
    connecting with others from your safe
    space.
  • You would like to observe and learn from other
    moms and how they connect and do things with
    their babies, and you want to exchange
    experiences and gain confidence. There are three
    benefits right there.
  • In an in-person class, many babies join the one
    baby who starts crying, and suddenly, the whole
    group is crying. This doesn’t happen in virtual
    classes, especially when your microphone is
    turned off. When you hear another baby’s cry,
    keeping your environment silent and
    undistracted is more accessible than in an in-
    person class by clicking the mute button.
  • All local and, of course, non-local parents who happen to be in our area on a set appointment but are taking our online class can meet in person with the educator by the end of the course and can meet in person anytime with other parents from that particular class and other courses. We aim to build connections beyond our class and foster a supportive community with like-minded parents and friendships that can last a lifetime.
