For 24 years, BABYGROUP thrived via in-person parent child groups in a comfortable and fun environment. Now, BABYGROUP is thriving virtually. While this is different, the flexibility of the virtual groups means that parents can ZOOM from the comfort of their own home, or their office, or when traveling…from all over the country/world.
Founded in 1996, in Santa Monica, California, by noted Child Development Specialist
Donna Holloran, BABYGROUP offers a respectful approach to parenting that teaches the importance of parental connection, along with limit-setting, thus inspiring parents to recognize and respond appropriately to their child’s developmental needs.
The challenges and joys each family faces are discussed within a secure virtual group, facilitated by experienced professionals who offer practical information to help parents manage the daily ups and downs of childrearing.
Each group finds a balance between asking questions and the leader’s age-appropriate topics…to help parents better understand and appreciate their child’s development as well as their own process in the parenting journey. And, in the middle of this hubbub are the children, who are engaged in their own fun and skill building activities…at home.
Although known for providing parents with the structure and know-how of reflective and mindful parenting, BABYGROUP is also about developing strong friendships for parents and children, resulting in a true community of support that can last a lifetime.
