This class will cover the basics of newborn care, like how to establish feeding and sleeping routines, car seat safety, first aid, and breastfeeding care.

Welcoming a new family member can strain anyone’s wallet. But by learning how to manage your money through intentional spending and saving, you can maximize your budget. This class will teach you the basics of budgeting and how to plan ahead financially.
