Life with a Baby is a project of Healthy Start, Healthy Future, a not-for-profit organization whose goal is to provide ongoing practical and emotional support for new and expecting parents, and parents of children up to the age of six.

We offer informational seminars, programs, open forums, and fun social events.
Many programs are free, and our seminars feature qualified and professional speakers. All of our organizers are mothers from various areas of York Regions who will help you connect with other moms in your neighbourhood and make new friends for you and your little ones.

Life with a Baby is run by a diverse group of moms who understand the rewards and challenges of raising a child.
Raising a baby is a wonderful experience, but it is can also be a challenge...When you become a member, you will be welcomed into a supportive, non-judgmental family whose members come from various cultural backgrounds; many are multi-lingual (Russian, French, Filipino, Spanish, Hebrew, Hindi, Punjabi and more). Our unique approach will help you overcome some of the challenges you face as a new mom so that you can enjoy your new baby and maintain a happy, healthy family dynamic.
