I love MOMS because my baby can interact with more babies, and I learn a lot about infant development.

Me encanta MOMS porque mi bebé puede interactuar con más bebés, y aprendo mucho sobre el desarrollo infantil.

It's auction week! With our gala having a special focus on fathers this year, we can't think of a better way to kick of MOMS Monday than with an inspirational quote from one of the many dads that have benefitted from our Father's Program here at MOMS.

"My Family & Me Classes were great to put my daughter in a different atmosphere. My wife always tells me about the mommy & me classes, and I was finally able to live it in person. Ms. Gaby is a great teacher and MOMS is fortunate to have her as part of the team."

"With my family and friends living in different countries and states, I was very anxious about entering parenthood alone with my husband. However, when I discovered MOMS and took the complimentary Childbirth Preparation Class and Breastfeeding Class Series, it helped me to feel secure by building my confidence in navigating parenthood! I truly appreciated the availability and kindness of the staff members and the instructor. They were all readily available and supportive to answer my questions at times of need. Even though I was not in the home visitation program, Karla checked-in on me once a month via a phone call until 3 months postpartum.

I personally had a difficult postpartum season where I was bedridden for 3 months. During that time, Flavia's guidance and sincerity helped me to work through my Postpartum Anxiety. Her genuine commitment to helping women truly touched my heart, and I'm truly grateful for her and MOMS."
