At Assist we provide you with an opportunity to learn how to be the best parent you can be. We use a program called Earn While You Learn that helps you to understand what to expect in pregnancy and beyond.

Through regular lessons that include videos and worksheets, you'll learn important and interesting information about your pregnancy and your baby. There are a number of topics to choose from and our staff will put together a lesson plan that is unique to your needs. And best of all, you will work with a parenting instructor who will be able to help you better understand the challenges and joys that lie ahead for you and your baby.

As a part of our Earn While You Learn Parenting program, we give you an opportunity to earn credits that you can use to "purchase" materials like maternity and baby clothes, blankets, diapers, formula and other much needed supplies. We may even have items like cribs, car seats, strollers and other baby furniture available through the program. We would love to have you involved in our program and show you the supplies and materials you can earn from Assist!
