1. What is Gather Baby Club?
A six-week course that brings expecting parents together, once a week, in their own neighbourhood. You’ll learn from trusted experts and get to know people having babies around the same time as you. Preparation and community, in equal measure.

2. Who is it for?
Mums-to-be and their partners or support people who want to meet other local parents, build friendships and prepare for parenthood together, with guidance from trusted experts. First baby or another baby, you’re welcome here.  

3. Can I come on my own?
Absolutely. Come solo or bring whoever’s in your corner. You don’t need to know anyone before you arrive.

4. Does my partner need to also register?
No. Your booking includes a place for you and one partner, friend or support person.

5. What do we actually get for $475?
Five two-hour sessions with trusted experts, plus a final social gathering, for you and your support person. You’ll have time to ask questions, prepare for life with your baby and build friendships with other local parents-to-be.  

6. What will we learn about?
Labour and birth, feeding, postpartum recovery, infant first-aid and the early weeks of parenthood. There’s room for your questions and honest conversations about what’s ahead. Check your chosen club’s itinerary for the session details.

7. Is this about learning or making friends?
Community is at the heart of Gather. You’ll meet local parents expecting around the same time as you, so those questions, coffee dates and “is this normal?” moments come with people who get it. Each week, you’ll get to know one another while learning from trusted experts, building the beginnings of a community that grows alongside your babies.

8. How big are the groups?
Each club has space for up to 10 mums-to-be, each with a partner or support person. Small enough to get to know the room and feel comfortable asking questions.

9. How do I choose the right club?
Choose a neighbourhood that works for you, then check the suggested due-date range. We bring together parents expecting around the same time. If you’re unsure where you fit, get in touch.

10. What happens at the final social?
It’s time to deepen the friendships you’ve started and help turn familiar faces into your local parenting community. A relaxed gathering with more time to talk and make plans to stay connected.

11. What should I bring?
Come as you are and bring whoever’s in your corner. At our Dark Horse Espresso locations, coffee, tea and snacks will be available to order. Joining us elsewhere? A water bottle and a light snack are always a good idea.

12. Where and when do we meet?
We gather in neighbourhood spots across Toronto. Pick your club and you’ll find the address, all six dates and times on its booking page. For the final social, we might switch up the time and venue, but we’ll keep it in the neighbourhood.

13. How do I book?
Choose your neighbourhood and club dates, then reserve your place through the website. Your booking covers the full six-week experience.
