Variety for all ages - friendly staff - resourceful Con: - the FREE playground is only on Thursdays which might now be convenient for some. I usually have my Thursday free to do any activity with my little one. When I found out that Well Baby Center has a FREE open playground I did not hesitate and contacted the site. I spoke with Allie whom was very attentive and sweet over the phone not only did she provide the information but, answered my questions. Upon my arrival. My little one ran over the hills and started to use the equipment. She LOVED it. Since then I have been coming for about 4 months now. What I loved the most aside from their playground of course was that they have an Instagram where I can check out future activities. Such as for Halloween, Summer splash, and much more.

Really disappointed in my experience today. I drove two hours to this location to support a local…read morebusiness. For one, I was not greeted or asked if I needed help when entering the store. More importantly, their website said the stroller I wanted was in stock and available in 4 hours for pickup, but when I got there it wasn't available for purchase and it had to be ordered. When I brought it up to the cashier, he said it was because they have it in store their inventory but not at the store? Huh?? After doing more digging I saw there was a "Terms and conditions" asterisk in fine print you have to click on to find out this information. All I saw was the green check mark that says "In stock and ready for pick up in 4 hours." Any other place I have ever been to- this would mean it would be in stock at the store. When I brought up, calmly, that this was confusing and they should fix it because I drove two hours to get to the store. The cashier said nothing. Not a "Aw geez, I'm sorry. I can understand your frustration and why that's confusing." I'm a reasonable person. I've worked in customer service all my life. The demeanor of the cashier alone has put me off from ever visiting this store again or recommending it. We went to Uppababy a few blocks down and they were SOOO kind that it completely made my day. All I needed was some kindness. To the owners of the Pump Station- the people using your website are most likely VERY tired moms. I personally am getting 3-4 hours of sleep a day. Tired moms need clear signage if something is in stock or not. Time is precious in this season of life. We also need KINDNESS. My body is broken and recovering from giving birth. I am exhausted! I would expect a place who sells baby items to understand this. Overall, would never recommend this place and will tell everyone I know that it was an awful experience.

Convenient hours. Location cannot be beat!

It has been about two years I think at this point, and I am still talking about what a helpful turning point your support was during a challenging time. My daughter and I have been through unbelievable and tragic/chaotic life circumstances at times since, and are still overall both doing really well and connecting in health ways - living our best lives in a weird world! I am technically an expert in all of this, and was still just struggling, so I cannot give enough positive and true feedback on this process with you. Thanks again for everything, and figured better late than never, lol!

Don't usually write a review, but I thought Cassidy was sooo helpful that I want to share…read more My wife and I did the 12 week program over Zoom and it's been a game-changer. The idea here is that parenting is more of a self-centric (and partner-centric) exercise; throughout the program, Cassidy was responsive, flexible and very empathetic. What it does is give you a framework for how to make decisions about parenting. It fills in knowledge gaps around what our kids need. The content from Jai Institute for Parenting is good, but honestly it's Cassidy that makes the whole thing worthwhile. If you're at the point where you're even exploring a "parenting coach" then working with Cassidy may be exactly what you're looking for.

If you are having a baby, you need Babygroup! Donna has been an indispensable resource on my…read morejourney as a new mother, and the friends I have met through Babygroup still talk on a daily basis. Donna provides advice and comfort in an incredibly supportive and nonjudgmental way, and offers wonderful insight no matter your child's age. This is one of the best gifts you can give yourself as a new mother. I fully credit Donna's classes and in-person playgroups as one of the major reasons both my daughter and I are thriving.

In becoming a mother, I tried to prepare myself by reading every book on babies and parenting that…read moreI could. However, I soon found that with several topics (such as breastfeeding and sleep), there were so many different strategies that I became more conflicted/confused the more I read. Joining Donna's group at 3 months was such a godsend. In her group, I was able to have a detailed conversation about any issue I was having. I then always received a succinct strategy that was tailored to my child. And the advice just works! Most recently she outlined the steps for weaning my now 2 year old off of his pacifier, and it went as smoothly as she had promised. Donna anticipates upcoming milestones and struggles. And she will send emails with detailed information and instructional videos to explain what issues may be on the horizon and how to address them. It is also amazing to connect with the other mothers in the group. I started with a group when all of our children were around 3 months old, and now, 2 years later, our group till texts each other on our Whatsapp chat every day. It has been so therapeutic to have a safe space where I can air my struggles without judgement and where I can receive the support and validation of women facing the same obstacles. I am a huge fan of the current zoom format because I can join wherever I am regardless of what I am doing. Between the LA traffic and work, I would not have been able to join as reliably if not for this virtual platform. Donna has given me confidence as a parent. She has made me a better parent than I could have been struggling on my own. I really cannot say enough about the group. I highly recommend it for any new mother!

We were hooked. The operator, Patricia, created a beautiful environment that feels both intimate and aspirational. The staff is immersed in the Reggio Emilia pedagogy, which makes the school feels less "schooled" and not like a daycare where they're just "watching" children. Every space presents an opportunity for learning, engagement and growth. Every teacher engages with your child. There are no "worksheets." The children learn through projects and individual study. We loved the annual camping trips and nature hikes. Over time, the school and families became a safe haven for our family, changing our perspectives of what a school should be. It should be an extension of community. I can't say enough about how amazing this place is. I literally can't find anything that compares.

Having the ability to vent, seek advice or just receive validation from other moms who "get it" was valuable for me, as I adjusted to being a new parent. It also served the purpose of helping me learn to get out of the house solo with my son on a regular basis in those early months, which built my confidence. Learning tips and tricks from the facilitators and other moms was a great perk - new parenthood can be so isolating and you can get in your own head about milestones. These groups helped me *breathe* and realize every kid is going to change at their own pace. Highly recommend facilitators Zena and Bobbie, my son loved them (and I did too!)

Fast forward to me now having a 7 month old and Happy Baby is my second home. Prenatal/postnatal classes are great. I did both prenatal boot camp and prenatal yoga but I was a little limited since I had to stop working out. Once I was cleared to work out, I was at some kind of class 4-6 times a week. Being able to bring your baby to class and get to meet other moms is fantastic! The majority of the fitness classes are taught by Lauren, who is an AMAZING teacher. She kicks your butt all while being the most encouraging, empowering teacher ever! Mama classes- I have done the mindful mama class with Khefri and it was such a great resource as a new mom! I also made new mama friends who I have kept in contact with even after our class ended.

TLDR: If you and…read moreyour spouse are lost in the sauce on this whole having a baby business, or if you're like me and just want to be prepared for anything, I highly recommend taking the Prepared Childbirth Series with Patricia. You'll be glad you did. Long version: Having a baby for the first time was definitely daunting for us. There were too many what-ifs and unknowns that made us nervous about the whole birthing process. I'm so glad we decided to take Happy Baby's Prepared Childbirth series with Patricia. It was an informative, fun, and confidence-boosting experience. I actually had to convince my husband to go with me: He walked into the first class saying he's there cause I told him to be there (gotta admire the honesty). After the last class, however, he left saying that he was glad I forced him into taking it. (yay me!) The moment my water broke, I was able to apply things that I learned in class that kept me calm and collected(we even went grocery shopping the next day). We were able to check into the hospital mentally and emotionally prepared, even though labor did not pan out as we had planned. We were well educated so we were able to ask about our options (most of which aren't discussed) and feel confident and comfortable with our decisions. By the time I started active labor, my husband was able to use the skills he learned from class to help me through my contractions, so much so that I was able to deliver without an epidural. The support and encouragement that he displayed throughout the whole process just made me fall even more in love with him (cheesy, I know). I can't thank Happy Baby enough for offering the series and everything we learned. I've been recommending this series to all my family and friends who are pregnant or planning to be since I gave birth. So my fellow Yelper, do not hesitate any longer. Take the class and feel empowered like we did.
