Bloom and Bond

Parent and baby classes in Portland, Oregon to help you and your baby bloom and bond together.

Portland Parent and Baby Classes

Bloom and Bond parent and child classes will allow you to observe and discuss your child’s behavior as they explore the environment around them.  These parent and baby classes are located in Lake Oswego, Oregon, a suburb of Portland.

Designed for children ages 3-8 months, these weekly 60 minute classes are equipped with age appropriate toys in a safe environment for parents to reflect, observe, and communicate with one another about their children and their parenting journeys.

The Philosophy

The mindset behind Bloom and Bond is simple. We believe that observation is the best way to learn about and bond with your young child.

Group Setting

A small group setting allows parents to interact and share with one another.

Respectful Parenting

Watching and reflecting upon infant play as they take on the world makes way for respectful parenting.

Simple Environment

Toys and objects that can be found in your own home create the best environment for observation.

Guided Conversations

Parent discussions enhance our sessions because sharing experiences allows for learning and growth.
