Newborn Series FAQs
What is the class format?
Classes are 90-minutes each. A typical class includes a welcome discussion, a featured guest speaker on designated topic, Q&A and discussion topic for the day.
When should I register?
Classes fill up quickly! You should register while you’re pregnant during the 2nd trimester to secure your spot. Waiting until after your baby is born to register may be too late if the class is full.
We understand babies come on their own time! If your baby arrives early or late, we will bump you to another series as long as that class is not at max capacity.
Which Newborn Class Series should I sign up for?
Classes begin each month, so sign up for the class the month following your baby’s arrival.
Classes are intended for mom and baby, so sign up while pregnant for the class following your baby’s arrival. We suggest babies are around 2 weeks or older at the start of class to give yourself time to adjust after giving birth, but please use your own discretion.
Where are classes hosted?
The Newborn Series is offered in Winston-Salem, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Charleston. See each city’s booking page under the Newborn Series tab for each studio’s address.
Are your classes only for first-time moms?
Nope! Whether you’re a first-time mom or this is your fourth baby, we encourage you to take part in our classes! We’ve found that every baby is different, and honestly, we’ve heard many moms say that it’s easy to forget ALL the things after your first baby. Plus, every mom deserves a strong support system.
What if I miss a class?
We know things come up! You’ll still receive the class handout on the designated topic from our experts as well as an email recapping the notes from class. If you or your baby is sick but you still want to listen in, you can contact your Instructor and ask for them to dial you into class.
Can I breastfeed my baby in class?
Absolutely. Feel free to bring breastfeeding pillows or whatever will help you feel most comfortable!
Are snacks permitted in class?
Always! Feel free to bring all the nut-free snacks & beverages to enjoy during class. Moms need fuel more than anybody!
What if we are a two-Mom family?
We welcome one or both moms to attend! If both moms want to attend, no need to register twice.
What if I don’t identify as “Mom”?
While our Newborn Series programming is not developed to avoid gender-specific language, we still welcome you to attend. All parents deserve support.
Playgroups FAQs

How do I book classes?
Book classes through your online Momence account, or download the Momence app to your phone and book via the app for your on-the-go convenience! You can also book through the Class Schedule page on our website.
What are the age ranges for class?
Classes are organized by age & level of motor skills. We have classes for little ones from 3 months old up through 3 years old (3-year-olds welcome; little ones age out when they turn 4). ML Playgroups 3 mos-15 mos are designed for both sensory seekers—who are largely non-mobile and are working on tummy-time, rolling and sitting, as well as little movers—who are crawling and beginning to stand & walk. ML Playgroups 12 mos-3 years are for curious toddler explorers who are standing, walking & beyond. ML Playgroups All Ages 3 mos-3 years provide a range of activities for little ones at every stage of development.
If your child’s age falls between two classes (ex: 12-15 mos), choose the Playgroup that best fits your child/your schedule!
What are the seasonal & weekly themes?
Every Playgroup is new and exciting because we have weekly themes that align with the season. See the current theme schedule here!
I can’t make it to class. Do I need to let anyone know?
If you are an Unlimited Member and cannot make it to a class you booked, please cancel your booking through the Momence app no later than 4 hours before the class begins. “Late Cancellations” will result in a $10 fee, “No Shows” will result in a $15 fee.
Can another caregiver bring my little one to class? Are Dads welcome?
Yes! ALL caregivers are welcome! We have dads, nannies, grandparents, babysitters, etc. come to Playgroups all the time! As long as you have a spot booked in the class they will be attending with your child, they are welcome to join in your place.
Can I bring a guest?
Yes. You can bring your spouse, partner, or a grandparent, too. We just ask you adhere to the limit of 2 adults per child/family, due to space.
Can siblings come, too?
Yes! Each membership is per family, not per child. Register for the class best suited to the age of your oldest child. Younger siblings + multiples welcome!
Does my membership expire?
Unlimited Memberships are auto-renewing so you don’t have to worry about signing back up!
Playgroups Series Memberships expire after the 9-week series ends. Sign up for the next series to keep it going!
