Seedlings Group

(0-3 Month olds)

At Little Seeds, we offer a supportive space for moms and their little ones to connect, learn, and grow together. Our weekly in-person cohort sessions are designed for babies aged 0-3 months, providing an opportunity to bond with your baby while exploring key milestones during these early weeks.

Each week, we focus on a different topic, covering essential developmental milestones, baby care, and nurturing practices to support your baby’s growth. These sessions are a chance for you to bond with your little one, engage with other moms in similar stages of parenting, and create meaningful memories.

Join us in nurturing your baby’s first experiences while building a supportive community with other new moms.

Our Postpartum Cohort groups are designed to provide supportive space for moms and their little ones to connect, learn, and grow together during your baby’s first year of life.

Each session is 8 weeks long and will meet weekly for 60 minutes. These sessions are a chance for you to bond with your little one, grow in community with other moms in similar parenting stages, and create meaningful memories and lasting relationships. There will be a general consistency to each meeting and across all groups, which will include:

  • Welcome and Introductions: introducing mama and baby to the group

  • Celebrations and Challenges: an opportunity to share and listen to each mother’s celebration and challenge for the previous week

  • Songs: to promote bonding and development

  • Weekly Topic Discussion relevant to the specific age group and/or parenting

  • Goodbyes
