Since 1991, Evergreen Hospital’s popular Parent Baby classes have been providing education and support for new families. Each week, parents and their babies gather with a class facilitator in an informal group setting at Evergreen to share parenting successes – as well as challenges – and get practical, hands-on information to make the journey a little easier.

Each two-hour session includes a topic that covers everything from baby’s eating and sleeping patterns to information on family financial planning, water safety and even forming play groups. There’s also time for a free-for-all discussion on anything and everything baby.

The Parent-Baby Groups are divided by age – 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-9 months and 9-12 months. The three-month span in ages gives parents with babies at the younger end of the spectrum an opportunity to get guidance and advice from someone who’s just survived what they’re going through.

The 0-3 month group is free – Evergreen’s gift to your new family. The remaining groups cost $77 each.

Class Schedule

Registration is required for all groups; please call the Evergreen Healthline at 425.899.3000. All new families are welcome, regardless of where you delivered your baby. 

When you come to class, please bring a blanket to lay your baby on floor, plus a water bottle and a snack for yourself.

For space considerations, we ask that you leave your strollers at home or in the car (though special provisions may be arranged for parents with multiples or other special needs).

In Case of Snow or Inclement Weather

If Lake Washington School District schools are closed, there will be no Parent Baby classes.  For delayed start, call HealthLine for the class update at 425-899-3000.
