I am so grateful for the Nesting Place…read more I found the Nesting Place on Instagram when I was pregnant. I was excited to enroll in prenatal education classes here and was even more excited to take my little one to classes after my baby was born. Prenatally: My husband and I took "newborn care 101" and partner yoga for birth. My husband and I loved the partner yoga with Jen. It really opened my eyes on what I wanted for my birth and helped me change my birth goals and plan. I loved the prenatal yoga classes with Jen as well. I also found my doula through the Nesting Place website. I am so grateful to have found the Nesting Place to help me prepare, as best I could, for my birth through education, support and movement. Postpartum - I was even more grateful for the Nesting Place. I saw that it offered "Fourth Trimester groups" at all three locations - Farmingdale, Merrick and Yaphank. I enrolled in a fourth trimester group in Merrick and received an email saying "come as you are." It was very comforting as it was the first place I took my baby alone. I felt supported with other moms going through the same things at the same time. As moms, we are usually the last ones supported and taken care of, and the Nesting place really offers that space for us to be supported in this new chapter as we are also born as mothers. We have utilized so many resources through the Nesting Place - our lactation consultant, Bella, was instrumental on helping us with feeding/latching issues, baby and me yoga, postnatal strength classes, baby and me music and developmental play with PTs, OTs and SLPs. My baby and I look forward to the classes as we can be ourselves, meet other parents and feel so welcomed. I am really truly grateful that the Nesting Place exists during the time I became a mom. I don't know what I would've done without it. I hope others will "come as you are" and try a class here prenatally or postpartum. It really is a wonderful community.

My husband and I took the 4-hour Childbirth Preparation class with Laura and Marissa and absolutely…read moreloved it. We both learned so much and took away so many helpful tools. Laura did an amazing job keeping everyone engaged and incorporated hands-on techniques that my husband will be able to use during our birth. We left the class feeling so much more prepared and confident about what to expect. I highly recommend this class, especially for first-time parents like us!

We had the easiest most stress free delivery possible and I attribute this to what we learned in our classes.

The Parent…read moreCollective prenatal classes are designed to provide couples a support network of people living in close proximity and delivering babies at the same time. The idea being that along with learning what you need to about labor and caring for your newborn, you are also fostering friendships that will be invaluable to you during this next chapter in your lives.   In addition to a class series for first time parents, we will also be launching for 2nd and 3rd time parents. This series will tackle different topics, but will still provide the social support expectant parents so need. Our aim is for The Parent Collective classes to provide an invaluable service to new parents - helping manage the isolation that can come with new babies, making connections that create a safety net for post natal depression, and a judgement free opportunity to learn about the childbirth experience. Classes are held in three locations, GoFigure Barre studio in New Canaan, INTENSITY in Norwalk and here in Magic Beans in Fairfield. See our website for more information and to meet the TPC team.

You pay for books and uniforms and then get them 3 months late or just don't get them at all. The school is dirty and has mold growing in the ceilings (although they'll deny that.) The heat broke in the dead of winter and was broken for 3 days and they didn't do anything about it. They pride themselves in helping you land a job after graduation, but they do NOTHING to help. I had to call people in corporate to get what I paid for and still nothing was done. I graduated in 2015 and they STILL HAVE NOT SENT ME MY CERTIFICATE! This place is horrendous.
