Do you have a new baby? Or having one soon? Congratulations! What an exciting time for you! Amidst the excitement, there may also be a few questions about opportunities for Mommy and Me classes, how to meet other moms like you or where to find support should you need it. We at Macaroni KID Greater Woodbridge remember how much we struggled to find resources after bringing baby home, therefore, we wanted to help our new parents by creating a list of baby, infant, and parenting resources in/near the Greater Woodbridge Area, all in one place for you! If you know someone who is expecting or had a baby, please let them know about Macaroni KID Greater Woodbridge and share this list of baby resources in with them!
