A little BABYGROUP history:
May 1st, 1996…1st in-person group in Santa Monica, California.
March 16th, 2020…virtual groups begin.
May 1st, 2026…30th anniversary.
September, 2026…in-person groups resume in West Los Angeles.
While BABYGROUP continues to thrive virtually, there is nothing that can compare to the in-person connection between parents and little ones. Thus, we offer both…in-person and virtual groups.
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.
BABYGROUP offers a respectful and practical 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 either Donna Holloran OR Allison LaTona.
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.
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.
