A Village for the First Year of Parenthood
Recess proudly partners with New Mom School Philadelphia to connect expecting and new parents with expert-led education, honest support, and lasting community.
Support Before and After Baby Arrives
New Mom School creates an expert-guided community through a baby’s first year. Recess helps families continue that support with flexible, licensed infant care when they are ready.
Brought to Philadelphia by local mom Eva Almiñana, the Rittenhouse program brings parents together in small, age-based groups led by experienced instructors and trusted specialists.
