6 things to look for in a New Parent Class

Becoming a parent is a beautiful, life-changing adventure — one that’s equal parts thrilling and overwhelming. As your baby grows, so will you, but the road to confident, joyful parenting doesn’t have to be walked alone. One of the best ways to feel prepared and supported is by enrolling in a new parent class. But with so many options, how do you choose the one that truly aligns with your needs and values? Here’s what you should look for to make sure you’re getting the most out of your new parent class.

🌱 Your New Parent Class should be Led by Experts Who Understand You

It’s easy to feel lost in the sea of baby books and online advice, but there’s nothing like learning from experts who understand exactly what you’re going through. Look for classes led by professionals with real-world experience — doulas, lactation consultants, pediatric nurses, and more. You want someone who gets both the science and the humanity of parenthood.

At The Labour Dept., our classes are taught by a team of English-speaking experts, bringing you evidence-based information from trusted professionals. Whether it’s preparing for labor, mastering baby care, or navigating the postpartum period, you’ll feel empowered by real advice you can rely on.

🤝 A Community That Feels Like Home

You’re not in this alone — and your class shouldn’t feel isolating. Look for a class that builds community, where you can meet and share experiences with other parents who are going through the same journey. This sense of connection will carry you through tough moments and help you build a solid support system long after the course ends.

Our Prepped to Parent classes are about more than just learning; they’re about connecting. Our sessions are designed to build a supportive community, so you leave with not just knowledge, but lasting friendships and a network of fellow parents who get it.

💡 Practical, Real-Life Advice You Can Use

There’s a lot of theory out there, but what you really need is actionable advice — things you can actually do when the baby is crying at 2 a.m. or you’re trying to navigate those first few days at home.

Prepped to Parent is all about practicality. We cover everything from baby medical basics and breastfeeding to mental health during the early days of parenthood. Our experts offer real, down-to-earth tips that you can use to feel confident and prepared, no matter what comes your way.

⏰ Flexibility That Works With Your Schedule

We know life is already full — the last thing you need is a rigid class schedule that makes things harder. That’s why it’s important to find a class that fits into your life, whether it’s a weekend intensive, online course, or weekly sessions. Flexibility is key, so you can enjoy the learning experience without the stress.

At The Labour Dept., we get it. That’s why we offer different formats for your convenience. From our immersive weekend courses to our online workshops you can take at your own pace, we’ve got options that fit your schedule, not the other way around.

💖 Emotional Support for the Journey Ahead

Parenthood is as much about your mental health as it is about baby care. The transition to parenthood can bring up all kinds of emotions — from joy and excitement to anxiety and exhaustion. A good class will address the emotional journey too, helping you manage stress and support your well-being.

Our Mental Health from Pregnancy to Parenthood class is specifically designed to give you the tools to manage your emotional health. We talk about everything from anxiety to relationship changes, so you feel prepared not just physically, but emotionally, for this big life change.

🌍 A Holistic Approach to the Whole Experience

Parenthood isn’t just about what happens when the baby arrives — it’s about how your life changes and how you evolve as a person, a partner, and a parent. Look for a class that recognizes the whole journey and provides support for all of it, from prenatal to postpartum.

At The Labour Dept., we embrace the full picture. Our classes are designed to help you prepare not just for birth, but for life beyond. We cover everything from self-care and baby care to navigating the relationship shifts that come with parenthood, so you can feel supported through every step.
