Through the good and the challenging times there's nothing like mommy friends!

Our Class Offerings:

  • In-Person Mommy & Me

    Held in Hermosa Beach, California, our Mommy & Me groups have been a cornerstone of the new parent community in the South Bay for over 13 years.

    For our baby classes: You’ll enroll for a series of ten classes - 90 minutes each - filled with a calendar of informational topics, expert guest speakers, weekly mom hacks & parenting tips and fun Nest traditions. On your calendar you’ll see we’ve also scheduled a mom’s night out for you, a stroller walk, and a family play date - because we know you’ve come here for community and we want to help you build it. Many of our moms continue enrolling in classes with their mom friends through their baby’s toddlerhood and we hope you do too!

    For toddler playtime: You’ll enroll for a series of ten classes - 60 minutes each. Our toddler group is a unique mix of fun, active play for your toddler and parenting support for you! Each session of classes has it’s own theme: complete with toys, songs, sensory activities, and an adorable take-home craft that your toddler will work on throughout your session. This is in addition to the calendar of informational topics, playdates, and fun Nest traditions that you can expect in all in person Nest groups.
