A little about Jessica…
The Parent Collective offers prenatal education and early motherhood support programs designed to help expectant and new parents find local community. Our prenatal education series, taught by registered nurses and midwives, sorts our participants by community and due date to help them develop a support network for early parenthood. The model we follow is inspired by our founder's personal experience having her boys in the UK. She and her husband had the benefit of a program called the NCT which has been running prenatal education for over 70 years and organizes participants by neighborhood and due date — allowing all couples to form support networks prior to their babies being born.
We believe finding your parent friends while you are still pregnant, who you can access from day one, is an infinitely preferable scenario to waiting until you feel confident enough to leave the house to explore parent/baby programming. Add to that the very short maternity leave for most working women and there is very little opportunity after your baby is born to connect with a community in a meaningful way.

Testimonials
The Parent Collective has been an invaluable resource as I navigate being a first time mom while also being new to the area. The classes were high quality and informative and led me to have a birth where I felt safe and had agency over my choices. The other participants in the group were fantastic and have provided not only companionship but resources too. I would say The Parent Collective has been a key part to the relaxation and happiness we feel in our new family. I wish everyone could access this wonderful opportunity. - Anna
Such a wonderful community. Attended classes before my first child was born and those friendships helped me through sleepless nights. Also gave lots of helpful tips, those you don’t get from other places and helped me feel more confident as a new parent. - Heather
The Parent Collective was such a valuable experience for us as soon-to-be parents. The four class series put us at ease to dive into the last few months of pregnancy feeling informed and as ready as we can be. It also led us to a great group of fellow new parents right in town! We are so appreciative to The Parent Collective and recommend it highly to anyone in the area. - Bridget & Kevin
