Parents in Uniform: There are many challenges related to being a military parent. This is a small, group-based class offered to parents at any stage of pregnancy. We recommend to take it earlier rather than later in the pregnancy, as we cover Marine Corps policies related to becoming a parent—housing information, legal requirements, community resources, leave policy, on-island child care options, DEERS, and other family readiness issues.

Baby Boot Camp: This class will provide helpful information on caring for your baby from birth through the first months after delivery. It discusses home, car, and crib safety, how to diaper, bathe, and soothe your baby, as well as feeding and breastfeeding. Also included is information on self-care, diet and nutrition, and baby health. At the end, prizes and giveaways are offered as well as resources that will help you transition to parenthood.
