Workshop for Parents: Is my Little One Ready for School?
2019-10-29 10:30 - 11:30 | The Brunswick School, 189 Brunswick street(School Auditorium), Jersey City, NJ, 07302
Workshop for Parents in Jersey City: Is my Little One Ready for School?

Is my baby ready to go to school? For each parent individually, this decision should not be taken lightly. Before considering the pros and cons of preschool education, parents must first and foremost consider their own family situation. For many parents who work full-time, entering their child in daycare or preschool is not always as a result of desire but of necessity and for those parents fortunate enough not to require full-time care, the child’s need for socialization and academics weighs heavily as a child ages.
How to Prepare for School
Join for A Discussion on Preparing Little Ones for the World of Daycare and Preschool at The Brunswick School. The Topic will be led by The Brunswick School’s Director, Erin Kahy.
During the workshop, there will be a discussion on how to prepare your little one for the world of school and beyond child preparation, how to prepare yourselves as parents for this new journey about to unfold.
Children are more than welcome to join the meeting, and there will be stroller parking available.
Register HERE to attend.
The workshop is free, but RSVP are required.

In his famous musical fairytale, Prokofiev cleverly matches each character to an instrument and a musical theme so listeners can imagine the exciting tale as it unfolds.
This special arrangement of Prokofiev’s classic tale features the instruments of the woodwind family, combining the same great imagery with a focus on the flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and French horn.
Named “a vital, artistically significant musical organization” by The Wall Street Journal, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra embodies that vitality through its statewide presence and critically acclaimed performances, education partnerships and unparalleled access to music and the Orchestra’s superb musicians.

Workshop for New Parents: The Do’s and Don’ts of PostPartum Fitness
2019-05-18 11:00 - 12:00 | City Hall Plaza, Jersey City, Jersey City NJ, AU
Workshop for New Parents: The Do’s and Don’ts of PostPartum Fitness
Coming up on May 18th at 11 am: Workshop for New Parents: The Do’s and Don’ts of PostPartum Fitness with Meghan Mizrachi!
You were cleared to return to exercise at your six week check up, but your doctor didn’t give any instructions or guidance on how to do it safely and effectively. Maybe you’re still wearing an abdominal brace or you’re worried you have an abdominal separation. Maybe you’re still having some leakage or back pain? or perhaps a sense of heaviness and are afraid that working out will make it worse. Maybe you tried to dive back into your routine but found that things didn’t feel quite right.
This lecture with Meghan Mizrachi is designed to provide clarity on the steps to take after pregnancy, in order to have the confidence to achieve a pain-free lifestyle and reach your fitness goals. She will cover screening for diastasis, the truth about sit-ups, advice about postural behavior, the best exercises for core strengthening, and safe exercise progressions.
The workshop is held at our JC Fitness Fair at City Hall Plaza, Jersey City.
Register HERE.
