Frequently Asked Questions
Don't see your question below? We'd love to help!
Do you offer in-person classes?
Right now all of our classes are virtual. We find some parents appreciate the virtual format so they can relax from the comfort of their home. If you are interested in in-person classes, your medical provider might have more local resources for you. If you are in the Seattle area feel free to reach out and we can suggest some in-person classes!
Do you have any classes for parents of older children?
Not yet but we hope to some day! The goal of The Family Garden is to eventually offer classes for every season and stage of parenting.
If you are a parent, please reach out and let us know what kind of classes you'd be interested in!
If you are an educator, we'd love to connect and grow our community!
What if I miss a class?
If you know weeks in advance that you cannot make a class, please reach out to us so we might be able to reschedule that class. However we understand not all absences are planned! If you let your instructor know before class begins that you cannot attend, they can record the class and send it to you for you to watch.
What is your cancelation policy?
A full refund will be given to any family giving more than two weeks (14 days) notice. After 14 days no refund will be given however classes can be recored upon request.
What if I can't afford to take a class?
We are very passionate about making sure families receive education to empower them in their parenting journey. Because of this we do have one spot at a reduced rate for each class. Please email us at thefamilygardeninfo@gmail.com if you are in need of a reduced rate.
Do you offer any resources for prospective childbirth educators?
Deidre is an ICEA certified childbirth educator and as such can observe a series for anyone working towards their ICEA certification. A fee of $100 is required. She is also happy to chat with prospective childbirth educators about the field and the certification process. If you are interested in having Deidre observe your class or talking more about the field, you can email a request to thefamilygardeninfo@gmail.com
