One of the highlights of our education and mentoring program is shopping time in the Little Dear Boutique, our onsite store. While learning in our pregnancy education and parenting education programs, moms and/or dads earn credit, which can be spent in the Little Dear Boutique. Our store has items like:
- diapers
- wipes
- clothing
- baby shampoo
- formula
- highchairs
- strollers
- pack-n-plays
- toys
- books
- bedding necessities
- cribs and mattresses
We also have other hygiene items for parents. If you are in need of gas, bus tickets, food or housing, we can help connect you to other community resources too. Take a look at the pictures below. We have new and gently used items being donated daily. Stop in and we’ll give you a tour and a few free credits to spend on the spot!
When can I start receiving services?
You can start receiving our services during your pregnancy or immediately if you are already parenting a child under the age of 3.
Can the father of my baby or child come with me?
Yes. Dads, spouses, and support persons are welcome to come and learn along with mom during her appointment times. Dads also earn credit to use and shop in the Little Dear Boutique.
Can a dad receive services without the mother of the baby or child?
Yes, dads can come for support, mentoring, and education.
How long can I be in the program?
You can be in the program until the child you are going to have or are already parenting turns 3.
Can I bring my baby or child with me to my appointment?
Yes. Babies and children are always welcome to come with their parents. We have a supervised play area right next to the rooms where the mentoring appointments are held. Parents are also welcome to bring their child(ren) into the appointment room.
