The Parent Collective

The Parent Collective Prenatal & new parent programming that creates your community. Giving birth to a baby, whether it’s your first or third, is an exciting and nerve-wracking time.

You have millions of questions that only experience can answer, but with the right support, these anxieties can be laid to rest to help you feel that you can do this! Many people turn to hospital classes and training sessions, but we think that this misses a crucial emotional ingredient that can make having a baby less isolating and more inclusive. The Parent Collective is designed to provide information, foster open discussion and establish connections among couples living in close proximity. Our hope is that these classes will create a social network for parents in their community, offering playmates for children and a crucial support system.

Diaper changes: one of those “how hard can it be?” moments that suddenly feels very real. 😅

The good news? Confidence comes quickly—with the right guidance.

This is exactly the kind of practical, judgment-free learning you’ll get inside The Parent Collective’s Prenatal Education Series at The Alliance Center. Hosted by certified nurses and midwives (like the fabulous Cherida Lally!), this four-week course is designed for expecting moms and their partners to get familiar with newborn care, feeding, postpartum prep, and more.

I haven’t stopped thinking about this since said it at a recent Town Hall.

We talk so much about resilience, balance, grit… but no amount of individual effort can fix systems that were never designed with caregivers in mind.
We don’t solve the challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, or working parenthood by telling people to work harder.
We solve them by creating policies that support real life. Paid leave, flexible work, accessible childcare, comprehensive maternal health benefits, and workplaces that understand parenting isn’t a personal hobby. It’s the foundation of our society.

When policy shifts, culture follows.
When we move away from rugged individualism and toward systems that truly support families, everyone benefits.

What policies have made the biggest difference in your experience as a parent or caregiver? And what change are you working to advance?
We’ll go first: our CT Chapter of the Chamber of Mothers is working to expand and elevate ‘s incredibly successful Paid Leave program so more families know about—and can access—the support they’re entitled to.

Your turn. What change are you pushing for?

From 2:25 a.m. feeds to early-morning questions, new parenthood comes with a lot of ‘I hope I’m doing this right’ moments.

The people you meet through The Parent Collective are here to talk through all of them right along with you.

How did you get through all those middle of the night wakeups with a new baby? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Behind every “funny because it’s true” pregnancy cartoon is a pregnant person thinking…

“Okay but actually, who can I talk to about this?”

Spoiler: that’s where we come in.

Join us on December 10th at 1pm EST for a FREE webinar for expecting parents: Future You Will Thank You: Setting Up Systems for Life With Baby—Together.

It covers how partners can align before baby arrives, divide responsibilities, and reduce conflict using tools. Using tools from the Fair Play Method (by Eve Rodsky) and real-life examples from new parents, we’ll help families create alignment before baby arrives.

Join us! Future you will THANK YOU.

From diaper recommendations to “is anyone else awake right now?” — there’s something every day that this crew helps with.

Because when you’ve got people who get it, everything about parenthood feels a little easier.

Across Europe, new parents are wrapped in care — home visits, midwife check-ins, and built-in community.

In the U.S., we call that luxury. We need it change that. Parents deserve systems that support them — not just tell them to “hang in there.”
