Whatcom Family Village

Whatcom Family Village offers programs for pregnant people, new mamas, fathers, partners and kids. Becoming a parent can be challenging, exhausting, and lonely… but community support is key to thriving in the early years. We’re filling a void in our community by lowering barriers to accessing resources and caring for yourself. Whatcom Family Village offers a beautiful studio space, kids’ play area, and private offices. We have a “come as you are” philosophy, welcoming all emotions, kids in tow, PJs, milk stains and mom buns, different life experiences and paths to parenthood.

While many of our offerings are free or donation-based, we also offer memberships and packages for our movement classes.
