Pregnancy and Parenting Support

Our EWYL program is designed to empower women to be mothers with vital knowledge and skills relating to pregnancy, life management, financial decision-making, nutrition, and much more. Our clients watch DVD programs which share all the above knowledge and skills relating to pregnancy. Every hour of study is rewarded with “Baby Bucks” that can be used to buy items from our store located onsite. By offering this program to our clients, we help them prepare for a healthy start with their babies and gain insight into important parenting skills they can use after their babies arrive.

EWYL classes are offered to clients on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays between 10 am and 3 pm.  Call us to arrange an EWYL lesson appointment
