For Jomessia, CenteringParenting has been part of her family’s journey from the start. All four of her children have been “Centering babies,” and she’s currently participating in the program with her 4-month-old twins.

“Centering has been great for parents and for kids to interact with each other and for them to meet other moms and kids,” Jomessia says. “It’s especially great for first-time parents and is very educational. I love it!”

The CenteringParenting program at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist brings families together in a supportive group setting where parents can learn from care teams — and from each other. From birth to age 2, babies and their caregivers attend well-child visits together while building friendships, sharing experiences and supporting one another through early parenthood.

By combining pediatric checkups, conversation and community, CenteringParenting helps families feel more confident and connected during their child’s earliest years.
