Classes meet Virtually Tuesdays & Wednesdays at 9:30am
What’s the difference between Mommy and Me Groups and Classes?
Parent and Me Classes are organized, with a teacher or facilitator, have a set start time and end time, and there will be a fee to participate. A Mommy and me Group is really more like a Playgroup, and there will be less structure usually, and probably there won’t be any fee to participate. You can find local playgroups through organizations like MOMS Club International, Mocha Moms, or MOPS (Moms of Preschoolers).
What are some Mommy and Me activities?
Mommy and Me music is one of the terrific ways you’ll be able to play with your baby or toddler in a group. Singing songs is a super fun thing to do with a toddler, and “music” can be interpreted very loosely here: banging on a drum or shaking some bells counts! Babies just love to be sung to, and you’ll probably get lots of smiles!
Another fun class idea is Mommy and Me Yoga classes for toddlers. Seems like Moms can always benefit from stretching and breathing, and kids love it, too. Plus there’s almost nothing as adorable as being in Down Dog and having a kid crawl underneath you! It tickles, too!

What age can you start Mommy and Me Classes?
Parents are always looking for things to do with toddlers in Los Angeles, and Mommy and Me Toddler classes are a perfect idea. Toddlers can be super energetic and having some structure built-in is often helpful. Kids love routine, so knowing that the class starts a certain way every time, like with circle time, or a special song, helps kids organize themselves. Or knowing that the class ends with clean-up time is a good way to help them self-regulate.
Some parents want classes they can share with their babies and infants, and you’ll find many options in SoCal. Teaching babies to swim is not only fun, but can help with water safety, and it’s for sure an activity for parent and child together. Besides that, there are dozens of what people also call Baby Classes here on this list – and they’re really the same as Mommy and Me.

Can Dads come to Mommy and Me Classes?
Many families share the joy of raising children equally, so you’ll find Dads at some Mommy and Me classes, but it’s a good idea to check with the teacher first. Some classes are filled with a majority of Moms, and some Dads may not feel comfortable in that kind of setting. It’s an individual choice.
Some of the most popular Parent and Me classes will offer special Dads-only sessions, so be sure to ask.
