Preparing for Parenthood

For parents who are planning a pregnancy, are pregnant or are adopting a baby.

Planning a pregnancy and expecting a new baby are both exciting times full of change, growth, discovery and often many questions. Preparing for Parenthood is a free program series that offers information about having a healthy pregnancy and becoming a parent. Preparing for Parenthood series are offered a variety of days and times throughout the week in partnership with the Region of Waterloo Public Health and the EarlyON Child and Family Centres of Waterloo Region.  Preparing for Parenthood requires pre-registration.
