Feel Confident and Supported Through Every Stage of Pregnancy
Recess partners with New Mom School Philadelphia so expecting parents can get set up for the fourth trimester before it starts — with the region's most trusted postpartum education program.
Start Before Baby Arrives
New Mom School doesn't run prenatal classes — and that's the point. Expecting parents pre-register now so their newborn spot is ready the day baby arrives.
- • Pre-register for the Newborn Class with your due date — spots are matched to babies born closest to yours
- • Attend the complimentary monthly Bumps & Bites event to tour the studio and meet other expecting parents
- • Join the free weekly Breastfeeding Support Group, open to all moms
- • Dads and partners can join the free Postpartum Adjustment Support Group
- • New class series begin every month
Sign up while you're pregnant — your fourth-trimester village will be waiting when you get home.

New Mom School Philadelphia
Recess proudly partners with New Mom School Philadelphia — a nationally recognized postpartum education and community program designed to support expecting and new mothers through their baby's first year. They run the classes; we make sure our families know about them.
Brought to Philadelphia by local mom Eva Almiñana, New Mom School combines evidence-based education with meaningful connection, helping families build the "village" that so many parents are searching for. Small, age-based classes (Newborn, Second-Time Newborn, Infant, and Rising Toddler) are led by experienced instructors and trusted local experts, covering infant sleep, postpartum mental health, feeding, development, pelvic floor recovery, and more.
New class series begin every month. Expecting families are also invited to the complimentary Bumps & Bites event, held monthly to tour the studio, meet other parents, and learn more about the program.
