Planning your classes at the hospital? Consider The Tulip Grove Instead.

I now recognize that our health care system falls short when it comes to the guidance parents need to triumph during these precious first few months. The Tulip Grove helps new parents to embrace their new life by giving them the support they need.

Take the tour at the hospital; Take your classes at The Tulip Grove

Once you’ve gone to take a tour of your hospital’s labor and delivery unit, leave the fluorescent lights and mauve wallpaper behind and come see us at The Tulip Grove. Our instructors, support facilitators, and consultants will welcome you to our ever-growing community of moms and dads that make The Tulip Grove experience so valuable.

Hospitals are for the delivery phase of your baby’s arrival to the world. The Tulip Grove fits closely around that experience. We help you to plan your birth and prepare for the often unexpected twists and turns that become your baby’s birth story. When you get home from the hospital we continue to be here for you in the important first months of your new family’s journey.

At The Tulip Grove, the classes are only the beginning.

In the hospital, classes are large “one size fits all” information sessions. When the class is over you’re on your own. At The Tulip Grove our classes can be tailored to the individuals attending that session. We take time to find out about each couple and keep that in mind as we move through the material. Since our classes are closely coordinated, we’re also able to recommend other learning opportunities or support sessions that are suited for you if you find that you have some unique.

At The Tulip Grove when the class is over your experience is just beginning. We’re always here for you to answer questions provide personal consultations or to get you support. After your baby is born there are more classes to educate and enrich your first months together. Keep track of your baby’s progress between doctors visits by weighing and recording your baby on each visit.

We took childbirth preparation at our hospital and left confused and ill-prepared. We decided to sign up for The Tulip Grove's class and we were so pleased. The Tulip Grove was more knowledgeable about the hospital's procedures and technology than the hospital instructor! They prepared us for every eventuality and offered us unbiased information about all of our options. Thank you Tulip Grove!

Get all of the info you need for the most important moment in your life - not just dry medical details.

Although hospital education programs try their best to move beyond the bland, institutional and clinical environment of the rest of the hospital, The Tulip Grove approach is something all together different. This is a warm, friendly environment where participation is welcome and classes are as personal as you choose. Class sizes are smaller and more personal. By taking your classes at The Tulip Grove you get more than clinical conventional wisdom of the hospital. You get real-life experience, practical knowledge and no-nonsense advice for an exciting and critical time in your life.

This is the birth of your child. Why settle for anything but the best while you prepare for the most important event of your life?

The Tulip Grove parents have the advantage of early connections with other expecting parents and the valuable resources we provide to you for those precious and (let’s face it) trying first weeks after baby arrives.

So whether you’re having your baby at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center, Kaiser, or any of the great hospitals in the Bay Area, sign up online for our classes or drop in to sign up for classes at The Tulip Grove in Montclair Village in person and meet some of our caring and energetic staff.
