What to Expect From Your PIP Group

General Schedule


Arrive & Settle In (10-15 minutes)
You’ll be greeted by your facilitator and fellow parents. Help yourself to snacks and settle in with your baby. This is a low-pressure space to exhale, release, and connect.
Highs & Lows (30 minutes)
Each parent is invited to share one highlight and one hard moment from their week. It’s a chance to be heard and validated without judgment.
Developmental Moment (10 minutes)
After check-ins, you’ll enjoy a simple, engaging activity that supports your baby’s development and strengthens your bond. Think “tummy time tips”, or a group song - always age-appropriate and sweet.
Weekly Topic Conversation (30 minutes)
Your trained facilitator guides a discussion on a relevant new parenting topics including sleep, feeding, early learning and development, and emotional changes. Groups vote on the final three weekly topics, which include: language development, childcare, temperament, relationships, self-care, parenting styles, racial and cultural identity, and more.


Guest Speakers

Most groups also feature at least one guest speaker during the series — a local expert invited by your facilitator to share insights or answer questions on a specific topic.

Come As You Are, Really!

We know that life with a baby is unpredictable. You are always welcome to:

  • Show up a little late sometimes! (we know how it goes with an infant)

  • Feel free to feed, soothe, or change your baby anytime, anywhere.

  • Show up tired, joyful, overwhelmed, exhausted, or all of the above.

We’re just glad you’re here. Every kind of parent is welcome, just as you are.
