What Our Parents Are Saying

This year, in the pandemic, my husband and I were expecting our first child. I have always looked forward to taking birthing and parenting classes, etc. (just something weird I have always thought would be a fun experience) and was pretty disappointed that we wouldn’t be able to take any in person classes. We took a couple Paoli hospital classes and another organization’s class (which were fine) but lackluster. Let’s just say they did not satisfy my craving.

Then we took a class with Nicole! Immediately the void was satiated; the interactive, educated, and overall positive and upbeat vibe that Nicole brought to the class, virtually, was fabulous. Both my husband and I feel that Nicole and guests provide the most well rounded, engaging, approachable parenting classes. I have continued on to attend many more MLFED classes since.

In a time when the world is having to keep distant, I have found friendship and a sense of community. I can’t say enough about how much Nicole has done for me and my family this year as an educator and a person. We are grateful for MLFED!

“I just wanted to write to you and thank you for hosting such great virtual classes for my husband and I in preparation for the arrival of our newborn! When I found out my hospital wasn’t offering any in person classes due to COVID, I started to panic worried that we would not have a personalized educational experience, but my good friend recommended I look into Main Line Family Education and I’m very grateful she did :) You and your team shared a TON of great information, but presented it in very digestible bites throughout each seminar which for us was key! Your positive and warm attitude also gave me a sense of relief knowing that it’s okay when things aren’t ideal.”

V.F.

“We took several classes with Main Line Family Education, both before and after our daughter was born. We took: Newborn Basics, Breastfeeding 101, Why Won’t My Child Sleep?! and Infant & Child CPR. Each class offered a unique expert with a wealth of knowledge. The classes are really small and individualized and we learned so much in each one! Nicole and her team are fantastic and we can’t say enough good things about them!”

J.S.

“I’ve taken 4 classes with you now (time flies!), and I can honestly say you’ve helped make my transition as a new mom so much easier. I felt equipped to face many of the unknowns around childbirth, felt confident to know how to manage our breastfeeding relationship, learned about how to care for my body post-birth, and now helping my baby understand sleep and how to help him develop good sleep habits (gently!). I know not everyone’s experiences or babies are the same, and (mine) happens to be a very chill baby, but your classes let me be proactive in preparing all of us for the changes before we were desperate for help saving us from a lot of anxiety and stress.”

K.L.

“Nicole gave my husband and I such valuable information and allowed us to leave her Childbirth class with so much more confidence than when we came in. Her warmth and vast knowledge/resources made us feel at home and that we were in good hands. We are both so happy to have met her and to have had this experience be included in our journey.”

L.C.

“Nicole is a great educator — she has mastery of the subject matter and breaks down information in an accessible way. I appreciate her combination of being positive and encouraging us to believe we can do it, while at the same time being realistic about the parts of childbirth and caring for newborns that are challenging and messy. Not everyone seems to get the “tone” right in a way that feels both empowering and realistic.”

“I can’t recommend Nicole’s classes enough – we were looking for something different than the traditional hospital experience, but that would leave us ready to deliver at our Main Line Health hospital. Nicole offered just that. With her years of experience and vast knowledge of what it’s really like…we felt cared for and informed. If you’re looking for a smaller feel in a beautiful location, Main Line Family Education is absolutely the way to go!”

K.F.

“Tremendous experience. My wife and I cannot rave enough about Nicole and her program. We learned so much, but more importantly feel so much more comfortable and prepared to start this new journey. Nicole’s expertise and experience were paramount…and I can honestly say she put many fears at ease.”

My wife and I recently attended a Childbirthing Prep class taught by Nicole here. The space was very upscale and comfortable, and Nicole was both engaging and knowledgeable. As first time parents, this was a must-take class for us. I’m sure we will be back soon for more. Thank you Main Line Family Education!

J.A.

We attended both the Childbirth Prep class and the Breastfeeding class and highly recommend them to others.

Nicole is so knowledgeable and down to earth, she instantly puts you at ease and enables you to ask questions and feel comfortable in the environment. The classes are small enough that you benefit with a more individual approach rather then lecture hall style. As first time parents, my husband and I both found the style, information covered and pace of the class fantastic!

For the Breastfeeding class we had Donna – who again is so knowledgeable in her field and instantly brings a sense of enjoyment to doing the class. She is down to earth and factual. She makes breastfeeding fun and a lot less daunting!

We are already looking into other classes and also appreciate Nicole’s personal follow up after each class and recommendations.
