The instructor Nikki has sincerely changed my life. Don't get me wrong I did the work but if you want to be challenged, motivated and supported as a woman/wife/mom, this is where you come to get it done. I'm not a joiner and I'm DEFINITELY not a group exerciser and this experience was an experiment to get different results from working out/dieting and though I have peeled off 40 pounds (and counting) it wasn't the goal and in the end it wasn't the motivator to keep coming back. It's the community I have here and the feeling of accomplishment I get from being a part of this group. Thank you FIT4MOM and thank you Nikki!

I joined when my son was 4 months and it was wonderful to have a place to come and get out of the house. There are classes to go to every day of the week which is great if your schedule changes. You bring your babies in strollers and exercise around them. If you are wearing your baby, then the teachers will easily guide you in ways to continue feeling like you're getting a great workout. Each class ends at a park and you can choose to stay and chat, breastfeed or have your babies play while you cool off. Such a supportive place to get your body moving and out of the house after baby. Highly recommend.

It's such a thoughtfully put together program - a different theme every week, story time, free play in the big sensory gym, messy play, arts and crafts and snack time with friends. It's also been really special as a parent to be able to join the kiddo in school instead of just dropping off. There are other kids there that go with nannies and they also seem to do really well. It's great that the kids can go explore and play but then check in with a trusted caregiver here and there when they are feeling the need for closeness too. And it's so fun to get to be silly alongside the kiddos there. We've also done some of the other standalone classes like messy play and little movers and those are basically shorter versions of the pre preschool and are great. We'll definitely keep doing those too until we age out. :-p After mommy and me I had no idea what to do when the kids graduated and were 1. This program has been so wonderful for us as it provides my child with some structure and plenty of time to play. I couldn't say nicer things about the teacher Danielle. She goes above and beyond and is just great and the staff is so so nice. Highly recommend!

Our almost 4 yr old son (recently diagnosed with ASD) attended Play 2 Progress' summer camp program for two weeks and had an AWESOME time. While it took him a moment to adjust to his new environment, with a lot of tears and resistance the first 2 days, Allie and her team (including Natalie and Kaitlyn and Esme) showed tremendous patience, flexibility, and willingness to come up with creative solutions (like creating a visual schedule of activities and adding a one on one counselor to give our son extra attention), all of which helped him feel very comfortable and welcome. As parents, we had a lot of worry and anxiety at first, but those fears evaporated by the 3rd day when our son jumped out of the car and ran into the playroom with a backwards looking "Bye Mom!" THANK YOU again for making our son's first camp experience so great.

The classes are structured so there is circle time and learning for the kids and then adult time to discuss best parenting practices.

Although we can't wait to meet in person again, I am thrilled he was able to continue the program and continue learning especially when preschools were closed. If you're looking for an awarding experience to have with your child (birth - 5yo), then I highly recommend this program! And the best part is, it's free!!

My husband and I took several classes at Village Birth leading up the birth of our baby, and I found my amazing lactation consultant, Hideko, after taking a very informative breastfeeding class with Yvonne. Hideko was an invaluable resource to me after the baby was born and continued to be for many months afterward. There was no way I would be able to breastfeed as long as I have if it weren't for her. Separately, I worked with prenatal chiropractor Dr. Jenny Stofer as well, who is also part of the Village Birth group now. I had experienced quite a bit of discomfort in my back during my pregnancy and she always made me feel at ease, listened to my concerns, and took care of any issues I had quickly and gently. I always left my sessions with her feeling energized, supported and like my baby had more room in there! It was incredible. Village Birth is made up of such a thoughtful, supportive and kind group of individuals who are talented and passionate about their work.

She is kind, loving and caring and it's so clear to see her strong passion to not only supporting my child but me as the mother as well. I love her gentle yet realistic approach of setting us up for success. I now feel like a new person with her help and getting him to nap in his crib. It's a very liberating feeling! Plus, you can tell he is more rested in his awake time due to a better nap! If you're struggling in any way, do not wait too long for their services!! They are a true God send.

My husband and I…read moreunsuccessfully tried everything under the sun, every method, every trick in the book to no avail. Our son was truly terrified of the potty. Our son was just about to turn 4 and we decided to take a leap of faith and call Eat Sleep Potty Repeat. One weekend, Ally and Lisa came over. They spent hours getting to know our son, play with him, build trust, and have lots of laughs ( and our son is PICKY about who he likes). The relationship they built with him was so strong, that by day 2 our son trusted them so much he followed their lead as they guided him oh-so-gently to the potty. After literally a few days, he was FULLY using the potty as if he had been doing it for years. They flipped a switch in him. When I tell my friends about how quickly things turned around, they were in disbelief. Not even diapers at night. Pooping in the potty. Peeing at school. FULLY trained. Ally and Lisa have not only the expertise, but also they have the temperament and personalities to do this work and connect so deeply with small children. Don't hesitate.

Who would lie about leaving messages for a doctor? She NEVER even asked my name and refused to give me their NPI #!! After talking over me and interrupting me, she hung up on me! Then, the following day, she returned my call telling me she got a message from me to schedule an appointment--she didn't know it was me because she didn't care what my name was the prior day! When I reminded Tanya that we had spoken the day before, she put me on hold for her manager "Jeannie", told me a manager would need to call me back, but a manager never called me back either. Oh, and Tonya hung up on me again-2 days in a row! What on earth! Ridiculous. Honestly, how does she have a job in this field of helping others? She is supposed to help other women but instead gets paid to be unhelpfully rude, interrupt, talk over, and hang up on people!! No thanks!
