At Hope Clinic, we believe every parent has the opportunity to thrive when given access to great tools, accurate information, and encouragement. Thriving parents lead to healthy, thriving children and communities, which is why we are happy to provide in-person prenatal and new parent classes, at no cost, to the public.

Infant Safety
Knowing that you are responsible for keeping your baby safe can be frightening for any parent. What would you do if your child was choking or stopped breathing? Could you save your baby’s life? As babies grow, they begin to kick and push with their legs, grab at things, roll over, and crawl. We will discuss how to prevent and plan for childhood accidents, as well as look at the most common accidents infants can have. We also talk about what to do if your baby gets hurt.
Visit this website regularly for new classes or special events added every month such as:
Embracing Fatherhood
Infant Safety
Infant Expectations
Feeding Your Baby
Budgeting for Baby
Understanding Your Infant
Baby’s First Christmas (a “reunion” event for all who have attended classes in the past year)
