Great Expectations
Pregnancy & Infant Care Classes
Great Expectations (GE) is like going to a mini baby shower each week. At every class, you will receive baby items, get to know other parents, participate in games, and learn practical skills and information. On top of that, you are surrounded by volunteers who genuinely care about you and want to support you and your little one.
Classes are split into two quarters—Pregnancy Care and Infant Care—and each quarter is eight weeks long. It takes a village, and GE is a great village for moms and dads.
From medical professionals you’ll learn about:
Labor and delivery
Breastfeeding
Infant CPR
Caring for a newborn
Budgeting for baby
…and more!
Classes are provided at no cost to you and are only available to patients of the Keim Centers.
Great Expectations testimony
“I felt like I got a good foundation of information,”
said Claudia, a Great Expectations participant and mom of five-month-old twins*. “They helped us out, too, with clothes, and blankets, and everything. We’ve never had to buy diapers. That helped us out so much, because we were able to stockpile enough resources for them, to the point where we even had extras …. It was a godsend experience.”
“The team [who facilitated the class] is amazing,” added Ty, the twins’ dad. “They treat everybody the same. They always want the best for us. Not only is it a program—they actually treat us like family.”
